Fuego negro

This movie is visually stunning and artfully shot. That being said, the plot is rushed, weak, and many things are left unexplained. People in this movie fight like you punch in your dreams. There are phallic objects entering people's throats. There are unexplained creepy hotel staff and unnecessarily mixed costumes from the Victorian era, the 40's, and awful 90's club wear. If you watch the film without any sound or captions, it's actually a lot less confusing.

As a few people have said here, it is technically beautiful, but there is no coherent plot/storyline. And even if the English language title was correctly translated (Black Fire) it still wouldn't be any indication of what is going on. The fight scenes are not done properly, there are only a few of them, so that didn't affect the movie. While the one woman was nice eye candy, and probably the man as well, the sex scenes were unnecessary and added (nor subtracted) from the apparently non-existent plot.

I don't want any spoilers here, so I won't try to explain what is going on. The acting isn't that good, although some of the eye contact is actually better than the acting.

And because this movie makes no sense it seems to be a part of some series, if not then this movie needs a prequel to explain what is going on.

The things I did like about this movie were the 'hero' rode a motorcycle, so glad it wasn't some muscle car from the 60s. And best was the way it was shot and lit, the sound wasn't bad either.

This might be interesting to film students, but if you are looking for entertainment, even at the B movie level, you really won't find it here.

This movie reminded me of Big Trouble in Little China..where the girl wants to be with the violent, cool and mysterious dude but he is TOO cool to have a clutchy female hanging on his side. Every time I thought it might go somewhere interesting, it disappointed immensely!! PLEASE Netflix! Don't send me these "so-called" Coming Attractions! If they are anything like this movie, don't bother me!

I only finished watching this movie so it wouldn't haunt my Continue Watching list for eternity.

It's generally a bad movie with a clever enough organization that I kept interested. The director evokes a lot questions among the audience. The plot development is kind of fresh and marginally unique. The acting is very dramatic, which adds a wee bit of mystery with a cup full of bile. But being a foreign language film for me, it's a plus. The special effects are cheap )literally and figuratively). Maybe I got a Netflix edited version, because some of the film's description was never substantiated in the version I saw. For instance, the lead character was supposed to have just been released from prison. And that makes sense per the version I watched, but in my version that fact was not disclosed. The biggest drawback is the how nearly every scene presupposes more knowledge among the audience. Virtually none of the questions that the viewer has regarding, why or what's happening are ever answered. The end was predictable and answered none of the questions. See it and maybe pass 90 minutes ok, or don't see it and know you haven't missed anything.
