Easily one of the funniest pictures of the year, "Cochon and the Small Reset" is an insanely hilarious experience and one of the
sweetest surprises I had the chance to see lately. I wish I could remember the last film that had me in such great fun mood, laughing in its entirety,
but I can't remember. My memories over this one are so vivid that I can't wait to see it again. It may not have the budget one needs to make a movie
but it certainly has all the great ideas to compose a solid, funny movie and that's all we need these days.
Multi-task director/actor/writer/editor Rodrig Andrisan plays the title character, a spy who inserts a chip that improves his personal and
working abilities and the device comes at the right time when his secret mission requires him to follow a mysterious big arsed woman with a diabolical
plan and he must stop her at all costs, and also protect a most wanted meal recipe that everybody's seems to be looking for. From London to Rome and then
Romania, Cochon meets with a series of quirk characters that only heighten our sense of curiosity and fun, in a story that mixes spy flicks, comedy,
adventure, action and there's even time for some sci-fi. One cannot ask for more with such a combo of genres and they're all very successful.
Another great quality point comes from the locations used which allows you to see details and really feel as if you are travelling with Cochon
through all of those places. It's not like Bond movies where you see glimpses from famous locations and "feel" you're there but the excessive cuts makes it
all too quick to notice everything. Here, we are allowed to
patiently see the streets, the buildings, the canal and I felt it was a curious and lovely experience. Also loved the soundtrack with an 1980's vibe that
somehow fit the movie, the more those themes played the more I loved it.
Here's a deliciously hilarious film that it'll keep you glued in your chair. The humor is excellent, many great jokes all around and it truly
ressurected the act of laughter on me. Nice acting by the cast too. Definitely waiting for a potential sequel since there were some unsolved things, and even if wasn't the case, I want a sequel anyway. 9/10.
