This was so boring. Overplayed topic of drugs in Colombia. Very inaccurate, Medellin is not a short drive away from the beach lol, it's very locked in-land up in the Andes.
Bringing Mike Tyson and Tuco Salamanca as the fail-safe of the movie was more Fail than anything, the second plays a Colombian druglord and can barely speak spanish correctly.
Also, the chase scenes were like okay but felt shorthanded. Looked like they were about to save the movie but ended disappointing. Acting was also terrible, characters were poorly developed and seemed too unrealistic.
Overplayed, overexcited, too bad to watch.

Absurd movie. Only people as obtuse as the Pablo wannabe would enjoy it.
This boasts an absurd premise and Spanish speaking actors who can't speak Spanish without an American accent, let alone a Colombian accent. I'm looking at you Diablo, but this applies to every other actor who wasn't an extra.
Geographically inaccurate. The only near by town with a large body of water is a lake. Please explain how you got a shark there.
While we're at it: a hotel in the Comuna 13? Really???
The car under the semi scene, must have been the tallest semi, prime for rolling over in the tight hairpin turns of the roads between the mayor cities of Colombia, paired with lowest car in the history of the country: prime for getting stuck in potholes or at the foot of the myriad of hills within the city.
Need I go on? I always finish a movie, but my time is far too valuable for this one. I just couldn't.

Bad script bad intentions...I mean did they want to make a comedy? An action movie? Both? Non of that...it's a salad of already seen movies, but in the wrong contest...it could have been a light comedy if they didn't went too serious...the end of the movie is more disappointing...completely out of contest...it's like they didn't know how to come out of a surreal story that went too much down. Comedy is not easy, action is not easy...to do both you really need to know your s..t.
Even the color grade is out of contest.
They've missed the opportunity of a comedy-action with a moral for young people.

The movie is really bad.
There are several scenes that don't make sense, and we realize that the characters are making mistakes on purpose just to try to be funny.
The characters stand in the middle of a hail of gunfire and no one hits them. The head of the gang manages to be violent with everyone, except the protagonists. It looks silly in front of the protagonists, who suddenly manage to learn to fight, handle weapons, and even fly helicopters.
And to complete, in the end, after the film has tried to make fun the whole film, they put an unnecessary tragedy just to try to make drama. They reserved only about 10 minutes of the film to conclude the whole story and everything was rushed and without rhythm. Not to mention the police character, who was very poorly used in the story.
I could spend hours talking about this movie.
Bad, bad, bad and bad. By the way, bad!

How I am going to give a 600 letter review here is beyond my imagination.
I wish Amazon Studios would list on their description of a film from what country the movie was made. This film was so disappointing for me, rude and crude language through out with some of the worst characters I have ever seen in a movie. As a viewer I didn't feel any emotion for any of the characters.
I have worked in the movie industry for over 40 years and have seen the down grading of movies since sound was invented. A classic movie is something special to watch these days with actors who were trained in their profession. Not a bunch of yahoo's acting like idiots like in this movie.
Wow I made over 600.
