Centauro

(2022) Centurauro/ Centaur (In Italian with English subtitles) THRILLER

Motorcross rider, Rafa (Àlex Monner) becomes obligated to help his former ex, Natalia (Begoña Vargas) after she informs him she owes drug cartels a substantial amount of money after she let them store drugs at her residence. Complicating matters is the fact that Rafa has a kid with her, she claims he abandoned her after he found out she was pregnant the reason why she agreed to have illegal drugs stored in her apartment complex. So in exchange to pay off whatever his on and off again girlfriend, he agrees to make so many drug runs for them by evading local authorities through different state lines. Complicating matters is the fact viewers can presume the criminal cartels are not going to want him to do runs for two months, just as they had promised him. Once he is in, how is he going to get himself out.

The movie still has a satisfying conclusion despite the familiar theme of better crime movies.

Burn Out 2017,To save his loved ones, Tony must use his motorcycle talents for drug deliveries.

The racing scenes are very good. Apart from that, the plot is thin and far fetched. Any drug trafficker would try to behave as inconspicuous as possible. But here, the trafficker is told to keep a ridiculous schedule, ride at insane speeds and pass the road tolls without paying. That seems a good way to attract the attention of the cops.

This crap from Spain is obviously inspired, if not a simple copycat, by BURNOUT, a French film speaking of a young moto race pilot involved in drug traffic. Same topic but that's all folks, this one is so cheesy, so predictable, far far less bittersweet, especially in the end. I am surprised that no one has noticed this yet. You can live - or leave (the theater) - without it.

Not original but also not horrible. It's definitely an unashamed ripoff of the French film, but it does a couple of things differently. Netflix has gone B-movie grade with its productions, and this film is another example of something they probably should have passed on. Still, it's an entertaining movie to put on in the background.

Loved it. Since I love riding motorcycles and watch motor sports the movie especially appealed to me. The story is fairly straight forward but the movie was all about appreciating that Twist of the Wrist.
