Contraataque

There are a lot of very critical reviews but which I feel are overly so. The acting was great, the action kept me enthralled, and I truly enjoyed the movie.

I am not a native Spanish speaker, so I hesitate to critique the lines. Going solely by the subtitles, I felt the writing did just fine with the film. As someone that does watch international films regularly, I found no flaws in the translation.

If you're looking for a wild military movie and aren't afraid of some gore, this movie should do it for you. Is it more than a good action movie as in a wildly complex plot and lots of character backstory? No. This movie doesn't need all of that. The film serves the purpose of the story, and everything it does have does the job well.

Overall, I enjoyed it and I think you will too.

This movie was surprisingly better than expected in many areas.

The directing was spot on. The cinematography was excellent. Even the casting and performances were on point.

The issue here is the writing, which really had nothing new to offer for the genre. In fact, it was too pedestrian and a story told many times before, and much better.

Even towards the end, the writing became too predictable and cliched. Nevertheless, an impressive overall international production, and a well deserved 5/10 to all production and casting areas, except to the basic screenplay that was rather boring. Still a good watch if nothing else to see.

When comes straight to videos a la Cannon films, Contra Ataque falls in that category.

Ye ve the cheesy dialogue, proud been mexiken army(which they misterious) then important el machismo asking since when Netflix is interested in this here review: The story with a low budget play out average n quite dumb un special forces captain is always behind a drug lords operation sending brother finish him off once kill it became a hunt turned into Carpenter masterpiece Asault in Precincts 13. The action sequences ye know there straight out b class material.

The live or die that's hearings Gun n roses song.

Oh do not forget the victims they find house, get arm up with some good old M16.

The thing like that main bad guy is arm with the heavy of em all, call it call duty thang.

Forgot to mention the final fight with the captain n boss, could be awesome if were a Mexican machete, add some Korean taste.

So conclude the film is pure military propaganda like any other, is the stand off seen in many classic western.

But ye want cheap action to kill the time Go for it.

I really enjoyed this movie. I'm not Spanish speaking hell I'm from Sweden but I truly enjoyed this movie. Didn't matter it wasn't in English. I think the acting was on point, photography was great same with effects. I felt it could have gone any way in the end but without giving spoilers it really held me on edge.

There were some minor things I object to or dislike but it's so small it what drags it down to 8/10.

And 8/10 is because I truly enjoyed it. For me a movie is good and I enjoy the whole movie then it's a 10. That's how ratings should work. If there's something I feel could have been better then I degrade it.

But rest assured. It's very watchable. Great action.

If you love series like Narcos, you'll like this one. It it great entertaining fir it's budget. Do not expect a masterpiece or The Expendables, and you'll fine.

First, I really enjoyed this kind of Mexican productions like Contraataque. There is nothing new here, but everything is done pretty well keeping in mind the budget.

Second, acting here is good. Even it is an action movie, there are also a few things that are remarkable even the amateurish cast.

Last, action scenes are better than 90% of Hollywood similar movies. No CGI here and great old school action scenes.

So, if you want an entertaining B-action movie, this one is for you.
