Centauro

This crap from Spain is obviously inspired, if not a simple copycat, by BURNOUT, a French film speaking of a young moto race pilot involved in drug traffic. Same topic but that's all folks, this one is so cheesy, so predictable, far far less bittersweet, especially in the end. I am surprised that no one has noticed this yet. You can live - or leave (the theater) - without it.

I thoroughly enjoyed the bikes and the action and rate this as the best Spanish movie I have seen. Strong performances from the cast with a solid storyline and script. It's an adrenaline packed movie with plenty of visual entertainment.

(2022) Centurauro/ Centaur (In Italian with English subtitles) THRILLER

Motorcross rider, Rafa (Àlex Monner) becomes obligated to help his former ex, Natalia (Begoña Vargas) after she informs him she owes drug cartels a substantial amount of money after she let them store drugs at her residence. Complicating matters is the fact that Rafa has a kid with her, she claims he abandoned her after he found out she was pregnant the reason why she agreed to have illegal drugs stored in her apartment complex. So in exchange to pay off whatever his on and off again girlfriend, he agrees to make so many drug runs for them by evading local authorities through different state lines. Complicating matters is the fact viewers can presume the criminal cartels are not going to want him to do runs for two months, just as they had promised him. Once he is in, how is he going to get himself out.

The movie still has a satisfying conclusion despite the familiar theme of better crime movies.

The racing scenes are shockingly innacurate, they managed to bag some time at Aragon and the whole scene was just an unrealistic mess, not to mention when the main character broke down he transported half way round the circuit, if they managed to get 30 riders and an actual track together the least they could do is use it properly...

Apart from the awful, awful, awful racing scenes, it's an exact copy of the French movie "Burnout", but this is Spanish instead, so it has not so bad of a plot, but just terrible execution, question cinematography and cringey scenes "Kid on the Kawasaki saying broom broom".

Close to a decent movie which could've appealed to all bike racing fans, if there was someone who knew anything about bikes involved in making the film.

Stupid plot.

If you are carrying drugs across the border, you don't want to attract every cops attention by speeding when there is no time real time constaint for the drug dealers. Stupid.

Rule #1, obey the law !!! No speeding, no running stop/red light, no flashy car and have it in perfect running condition ... The people who wrote this script should have watched Clint Eastwood "The mule (2018)".

They lost me there at speeding while delivering the drugs, which is the basic premise of this movie. I stopped watching. Too stupid.
