Mil Colmillos

Fast forward first class action. Great score and editing. No melodrama at character building. Feels like it was done with real jungle commando survival guidelines. Amazon backdrop is as real as it can be as experienced by south americans in Colombia or Brazil. Tropes? Yeah, it'a flick aftera all, but not the usual pop culture wiki catalog archetypes.

As a television product itself is well done. Filming in the jungle is not an easy task, episodes are way too long though. Directing and acting is not the best but is not awful. Photography and VFX are good but not prosthetics, all guts look fake. Direct sound is deficient, often you can't understand what the actors are saying (even if you are a native Spanish speaker) and as an original idea well, the title of this review says all: we see this before a lot: Sending a platoon on a mission to kill a drug dealer is same old story, to top that the creatures in the caves are pretty much the same as in "The Descent (2005)". . . So, meh! Production Company Rayhuela Films copy themselves, they already made a movie called "El Páramo (2011)", again with a troop of soldiers in the middle of nowhere that find some kind of witch. So double meh!

I loved the narrative I loved the tribal cult like aspects of this I love the jungle setting I loved the slowly being revealed bits and pieces the more you watch.. but the end is very disappointing... Could have been a nine star for me if it had a better ending...

This had so much potential, started up fast paced, with 2 storylines that so far have not really intersected. It has great atmosphere, it looks great, the acting is great too.

But then, then they start stretching the story out so much, you could have a much better series, more condensed and fast paced if you take out at least two chapters worth of just nothing thay just had to have on screen. We are just finishing this to see what happens, but to be honest we are no longer watching, I'm literally on my phone right now writing this and plan on getting a drink after, won't stop the series, please just end already!

Great idea to mix the best from the original Predator (1987) and The Hill Have Eyes (1977), two of my favorites. Also, most of the action remembered me two of the best video games: Call of Duty and Resident Evil.

So, overall the result is powerfully visual. Great action survival horror series. Hopefully season 2 will give us more answers.
