Leal, solo hay una forma de vivir

A refreshing take on cartels since we are in Paraguay and, for once, not in Mexico or in the USA. The plot follows the work of a special unit of badass underdogs, committed to take down a local cartel leader. The characters are stereotypes but overall likeable and the plot, evens though predictable, it's entertaining.

Overall an average cartel movie that mixes humor and action.

It was a decent movie plot, drugs, good people vs bad attitude person, and revenge. Unfortunately for the casts, they made these film like we watch a telenovela.

I had to admit that when I took the decision to watch it I wasn't expecting such a great movie! It leaves you with intrigue, you'll get nervous, anxious, you'll melt in tenderness. Absolutely recommended. The soundtrack its just a piece of art and they have Paraguayan music is so great, the acting makes you live the movie, the art i don't have nothing to say everything is so realistic, the director really enjoys his work and takes the liberty he needs in the montage, the photography it's just enjoyable its really lovelyy!

Watch this movie! Do ti now!

IM CRAZY I LOVED IT SO MUCH

With the right amount of Action and Character Development, "Leal, Solo hay una forma de vivir" lives up to it's predecessors, introducing a whole new genre to the Paraguayan Cinema, and it delivers perfectly, this is definitely a must watch for our nation.

Leal is a Paraguayan and Argentine film that reports the daily struggle of the anti-narcotics squad (SENAD) against South American organized crime: the famous cartels. A simple, uncomplicated film.

Paraguayan humor is funny, but not for everyone, in part because it takes into account local folklore. As a Brazilian, I understood most of the references, but I can see people in this globalized world not understanding some of the themes.

The plot is simple: minimal beef between cartels; SENAD wants to arrest the powerful boss. However, they can't get enough evidence for a case, so they keep a close eye on the cartel to find anything that works. Ex-Machina helps SENAD at one point.

The climax is, of course, the final apprehension. A bit forced, for my taste, but true to reality to a certain extent.

A simplistic film with no ambitions. Watch it calmly with a little popcorn if you want to see something different by independent producers.
