Torrente 4: Lethal Crisis

This is the fourth movie about Spanish private detective Torrente. The main character José Luís Torrente played by Santiago Segura is an absolute anti-hero. He always has a bad luck and gets in to really difficult situations. On top of that he always looks dirty and does disgusting things and has no manners at all. The whole movie is full of dirty jokes, naked breasts, farts and sneezing. Most of the movie cast are Spanish comedians, actors,famous people and even football players or Real Madrid.

If you like this type of humour and you know a bit Spanish culture, you have to see it. I laughed out loud in a lot of moments but there were some jokes related to Spanish media or celebrities that I had to ask my friends for explanation.

In my opinion Torrente 4 and Torrente 2 are the best of all Torrente movies.

What worked in 1st part (excellent movie BTW) and held throughout second movie, failed in 3rd and now 4th part.

Reason is simple. Torrente relied on same things that made it good in first two parts but now it is getting nowhere. Script and story are thin as air. Acting is good but keep repeating same jokes all over again and it is boring.

Torrente was in need of refreshment but it's author failed to see that.

There are some funny moments in this movie but that is all there is to it. Not to mention it had so much scenes where things could get better but they were not used in innovative way.

This time Torrente reunites a geek gang to execute a killing but he is detained and goes in prison .
