Medellín: Chaoten gegen Kartell

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.

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.

Where to begin ? PATTAYA was not a masterpiece in any way but was funny enough to spend a good time with friends, some beer and potato chips. We can feel that MEDELLIN tries hard to exploit the same vein for Amazon, but it's just a mindless awkward embarrassment. All sounds fake and shallow : bad script, bad dialogues and (very) bad direction. Obviously, Gastambide wanted to hide this with hyper-speed "action" scenes but most of them fall flat, as the jokes. Ramzy plays one of his worst characters, unlikable and falling off the tracks in the action scenes, Gastambide seems to play a bad impersonation of Eric Judor (the usual partner of Ramzy), and Anouar Toubali (very nice personality but not yet a real actor) seems totally undirected and only used as a gizmo. Stupid romance, poor character played by Mike Tyson, full of clichés and one of the worst ending I ever saw in a comedy. Two stars for the dog, the best part of the movie.

I enjoyed it from the very start. Goofy characters which are supposed to be goofy. Its cast and acted perfectly.....everyone delivers their lines with a perfect cross between candor and goofiness. Even mike tyson sounds like he took elocution lessons and listened carefully to the directer about his dialogue delivery. Ciryl gane cameo very nice touch.

Even when i thought i knew what was coming, wat came was funnier.

This film was a real pleasure......... not at one point was i annoyed by the plot or script.

I love the way the film knows wat it was and didnt mess around trying to be something it isnt.

Im someone who thinks fast and furious is absolute sh#te and im a real movie lover and this film is great.

I gave this film a good, worth seeing rating of 7due to its originality with a mix of action and comedy like you've never seen before. Medellín hits the funny bone and the heart at the same time without feeling contrived. The actors are mostly new and refreshing, with Frank Gastambide, the creator, actor director doing a yoeman's job keeping the crazyness coherent and fast paced. The other two main characters played by Ramzy Bedia and Anuair Toubali form a nice odd trio of reluctant heros with Gastambide. Casting Mike Tyson as the somewhat secretive CIA type who aides their mission to rescue Bedia's character's younger brother- a Pablo Escobar, look alike, internet wannabe, played hilariously by Brahim Bouhlel. Totally full of funny moments, and a few good spoofs to keep your interest going...
