I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Same review applies to the entire series of the first four Torrente films--they are very similar in concept and execution, and I binge- watched them all because I liked them so much. I think that this is real love it or hate it stuff, and God I love it. I'm guessing 7 out of 10 people won't appreciate this material at all, while the other 3 who are a bit twisted like me won't be able to get enough. It helps to have some knowledge of European culture and politics, but it's not essential--a well-honed appreciation of outstanding low-brow humor is sorely needed though. Yes, all the films are Spanish subtitled in English, but in very easy to read yellow lettering so it's no big deal at all. Most women I'm guessing will be turned off by these flicks. It's best to watch them in order. They play like the work of some deranged, Spanish genius, love-child of Mad Magazine and National Lampoon hopped-up on steroids, testosterone, tons of junk food, pornography, and some ungodly mix of alcohol and illegal drugs. These satires are rude, crude, lewd, insensitive, offensive, amoral, sexist, racist, homophobic, grossly politically incorrect and hilarious (with likely no socially redeeming value). What more could you ask for? If this kind of material doesn't appeal to you, steer clear; otherwise, bon appetit. As for me, all I can say is, "Please, Sir, I want some more." (I've just noticed that number 5 has been made, and I'm dying to see it.)
I like the first one because I laughed a lot by watching it. It was really something different to what we're used in my country (Hollywood BS mostly) and jokes were fresh... Second and third movies had to come (due to 1st one's popularity) and even when the jokes were not very original, I think the character is. Actually, if you take the 3 Torrente movies and compare them to any Hollywood-made pseudo comedy/action/Wayans Bros type of movies, Torrente 3 it's a blast. What's good about Torrente movies is that he still keeps identity (director hasn't tried to "globalize" the character, it's still a ruined "private eye" from Madrid). Of course, jokes are repeated all over the movies but aren't they much more fun than those jokes used again and again in lousy movies like scary movie or naked brain (I mean naked gun)...
His first movie was funny, the second is not so impressive, but this film is really awful, is full of topics with situations with no logic at all, and the script... this film don't know what is it. Yes, the explosions are more realistic than ever, and the specials appearances of very know people from Spain and from outside make is almost entertainment, but this famous people are from footballs players to humorist, trough Spanish singers to ...Oliver Stone!!!! and most of them simply don't know how to act if front a camera, but it seems that is not a problem to Santiago Segura to include a full handful in this movie. A joke that make Santiago Segura more rich than he is ever nowTotally superfluous!!!
This movie stinks. The first and the second were great comedies, but this one really sucks. No great history, the same jokes but now are more boring and a lot of guests making cameos that doesn't fit in the history. What the hell is doing a football player in a diplomatic top secret airport?!!! It's an insult to my intelligence. And Torrente is more fascist than ever in this movie and we even got pedophile references as a joke!!!. Really bad taste! We all know that Santiago Segura is not Francis Ford Coppola but don't waste time and money in this! I thought that after "Borjamari and Pocholo" Segura would do a better movie, but i was wrong... Thank god i work in a cinema and watched it for free
