Forget all the crazy impossible action scenes, the ridiculous stunts, the loops in the plot that don't really connect. The worst thing about this movie is the script. In this story, where there is a unnamed generic latin american country with a dictator mimicking revolutionaries such as Fidel Castro, the salvation comes from a white mercenary who will kill for money, but mostly for principles because mercenaries apparently have lots of ethics. Sad to see Lakeith wasted on such a poor production. Xenophobic, racist and not wort your time.

The ammount of hate that this production got is obvious. The fact that some people decide to make a production outside of the hollywood circuit results in very distinct movies. The special effects are certainly not up to today's standards, and there are certainyl faults in the movie. That said, it is still creative and honest, the messages of the movie are good, a little bit of interpretation by the viewer can make the analogies proposed quite clear and reasonable. I feel like its necessary to estimulate productions that dwelve outside the hollywood format, so I will rate this higher to balance the petty hating this movie is getting.

Watched this on a connection flight which passed through Rome, and at some point it surprised me. The movie is a typical comedy about a group of girlfriends, their relationships and mid life crisis. It replicates the hollywood formulas with italian elements, offering a portion of italian humour to everyday themes. Reinforcing some common race stereotypes, the movie takes the chance to include a black man in the position of a sex worker, in a typical voersexualizing of black bodies and racist jokes that were hardly necessary. Some people seem to think that as long as you make it clear that it is a 'joke', than there is no problem in being racist. Obviously white people and especially christians love the idea of justifying themselves and asking for forgiveness, so they can continue to sin endlessly. Recreational racism is still racism. Regrettable.
