La hora final

The movie about catching BLD in comparison is just cheap B movie! Wow, wasn't expect too much when started, never saw any Peruvian movie before. But got great impression about other Spanish language movies, Mex, Arg, Spain, Brzl. They seem to have deeper understanding of the movie language itself. I don't speak the language and barely keep up with the subtitle. But the movie makers communicate so beautifully to you in the rich language of the movie that is so much more than just the loud words. Anyway, maybe it's just me. Definitely a 10! The best! Glad I caught this one. BWT, I do know about that part of the history more or less but don't have a horse in it one way or another. It's just a great story as told. Maybe some years later the other side may tell it differently, from the opposite direction perhaps. But it seems like this movie is from the normal human POV. How can you beat that? May all the sacrificed folks rest in peace!

Two Peruvian detectives must capture Abimael Guzman, leader of the terrorist organization Sendero Luminoso, but their intense and complex relationship will jeopardize their mission and their lives, in the middle of the violent Lima of 1992. In this gripping true story, two Peruvian detectives go undercover to locate and capture the elusive leader of Sendero Luminoso.

Based on a true story, in the 80's/90's, performance by the terrorist group Sendero Luminoso, with a misinterpretation of Karl Marx's ideals... personal details of the protagonist couple, focus on the lives of the good guys and not the villain...

La hora final is by far the most boring Latin American movie I have ever seen and, believe me, I´m Latin and I have seen hundreds of our movies. I hope you read this so you won´t lose your time on a political thriller that doesn´t say so much about politics and never thrills.

It is a decent movie; the plot is good and the performances are passable; sometimes it is boring; we are told a very interesting event in Peruvian history.

Political thrillers can be draining and this easily falls into this category. Presenting itself in an era and with protagonists that really had some issues to work out. Not an easy watch by a far stretch and more than likely something certain people will try to avoid. This is mean and it is gritty and dark to a degree that you may sometimes wonder if the level of realism was necessary (I would answer with yes and it depends on taste of course).

While on the hunt personal stories should take a back seat, but we are all humans, aren't we? And so our main characters may do things and act in a fashion they should probably not, but overall it's understandable. Read what it's about and if it sounds interesting, it will be believe me
