disgusting, overrated, pointless

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

El Caracazo is simply a brief part made to fiction of what it was the 27F (februeary 27) to us venezuelans, it tales the story of what happen that day but doesn't come even close to what that day really was. the movie is bad, i mean there's bad scrip, terrible acting, terrible editing, terrible cinematography, terrible sound but it worth the way to see it if you want to know a little bit more of the 27F. I think that the fact that the movie doesn't work it's the scrip and the story.Personally i found really unnecessary the love story that develops in the movie between the 2 title characters, it does not focus enough in the "voicot" events which i think were really poor laking of extras and drama. whoever this movie does fulfill its target that is show us what happen to Venezuela after the events of 27. If you wanna know what happens next you may wanna see "amanecio de golpe" which is pretty much a sequel to this movie (even though el caracazo was release 7 years after the other movie was made)but i still think that the plot of the whole 27f was a great material to turn into a master piece of Venezuelan cinema, but the just ruined. my vote is 8

this movie is awful, i can not imagine how a well respected director as roman can make such a bad "film". the history is bended till it fits the interest of the producers, is the only reason to have made this unethical film. a person can have different views bot you can not twist history and say that Hitler was a nice guy, or that George W. Bush is a great president. what is in front of your eyes does not need glasses. the actors do not deserve much either, there are a couple of good scenes, but others are really stupid. i hope that in the future i could make a better comment on other movies. any response fell free to reply to my e-mail.
