Review of Saving Private Pérez (2011) by Jason V — 14 Jul 2012
While hardly subtle, thankfully this isn't as broad as the OSS117 series of films. Comedies don't often translate well, and spoofs especially so. The performances and direction are on the money enough to warrant this a pass mark, and as much as I hate racial stereotyping, at least the Mexicans poke fun at themselves here as much as the other nationalities that feature in the film.
Miguel Rodarte hits just the right note as the millionaire crime-lord cum action hero, and Rodrigo Oviedo bears a striking resemblence to Rafael Nadal. Not great, but it could've been a lot worse.
