Welcome to Acapulco

Now, clearly this movie is not Scott Pilgrim, or Deadpool, both of which this flick borrows from, BUT, I did think it was pretty entertaining and often hilarious. Yes, the narration, as another review noted, is a little over the top, to put it mindly, however I often found myself laughing, surprised, or even shocked by some of the one liners, stop downs, and silly, bordering on ridiculous, sight gags they threw in this thing. All the "big" names in the movie were clearly there just for the paycheck, but I really got a kick out of Matthew Kingsbaker. He definitely went for it, and I loved the romance/paranoia subplot between him and the leading lady. Look, it's no Midnight Run, but if you dig wacky, over the top, self deprecating humor in a movie that clearly isn't taking itself too seriously, check it out.

Nicely shot,lots of action and not the typical Hollywood hero.

It's impossible to watch even a half hour from this movie.

This film gets quite obnoxious with all the narration they do, with some over stylized editing. Id ditch all the narration parts and maybe this film would have some more potential.

So there's a guy who ends up in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Sort of a fish out of water plot, one you've seen a few times before. Lots of things go wrong since the protagonist lands in Acapulco, Mexico, and finds himself chased by all the bad dudes all the way from Mexico to Washington. There's endless action, lots of laughs and some gorgeous spots to look at. And the female lead is a true badass.

Had lots of fun watching this one. J.P.
