All toys on the table
If anything characterizes the films of Alex de la Iglesia is perhaps his powerful attraction based postmodern bizarre devices. Excess capacity and the search for the unexpected, so sweeping, make Alex one of the most notable filmmakers nationally and internationally. Its interesting films has several features in common, and some of them, are reunited in this film, confirming a very special and inimitable stamp.
From "Dead of laughter" we have a fight between two characters (this time clowns instead of humorous), as well as "Community" can again enjoy a gallery of secondary characters essential and terribly funny black humor.
The problem is that there are other aspects that are less pleasant, because of its repetition. They always end so the limit (almost identical in this case that of "Community" or "The Day of the Beast") make us uncomfortable entering a "dejau vu" that can only work for someone who is a virgin at the viewing director's filmography. It is in this sense it is disappointing not to find alternatives that can amaze or not envision alternative paths for those who go without any complexes. Excessive end, loaded with action and excitement (sometimes sweetened) that sometimes the talent show (denied) by the director in their ability to transmit and to generate a movie, but lose effectiveness broadly based to be too recognizable.
The movie may have a stronger influence from the beginning, with some really great credits in music and in terms of image. Behind them the Civil War. This is where the movie starts limping due to the low likelihood of the historical narrative and especially the characters. The humor is mixed with the story in a way a bit strange, does not work nor the sense of the tragic or comic or dramatic, despite the efforts of secondary and Fran Perea and Fernando Guillén. The course of this "ballad" holds some interest and although he continues to irregularities in general has some appeal especially to those who have previously enjoyed with film director Alex de la Iglesia.
are certainly the two main actors, Carlos Areces sensational and especially Antonio de la Torre at all state of grace that give the best tone to the film, those who hold all the footage and boldly doing a fairly good script that seems to walk with standing too firm. Instead Bang Carolina, despite having their hands on a juicy role, fails to give sufficient consistency to catch up with his two companions.
For film lovers Alex, would be another opportunity to enjoy if you are not looking for three feet at the cat or the clown, no doubt. For those seeking a higher degree of demand can be disappointing. Overall box office triumph, but leave the bitter taste of lost opportunity, even seeming to have put all their eggs in one basket, or all the toys on the table.
