Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
View MoreThis is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
View MoreThis film has poignant moments, is not a simple movie superheroes, has a great storyline. The director showed great potential and hopefully made a sequel, the hero has a great charisma and great potential for a sequel. The Chilean film is to be congratulated, highly recommend it! Marko Zarkor showed an excellent performance in this movie, so much so that later worked with Robert Rodriguez in "Machete Kills". The film also contains fight scenes that simulate the old films of Bruce-Lee, for a low budget production, is to be congratulated It also has a scene of romance that includes the music of David Bowie- "Life on Mars" - chosen at a specific time, which produces a perfect scene. Regardless, shows little scenes shaped HQ that translates the perfect feeling of the film: the instinct of superhero. Other than that, we also have a helper funny,also have a funny helper showing a moment of comedy to the film , summarizing the movie in one word : Exceptional
View MoreI seriously don't know how to start this review... I'm quite amazed by the fact how good this movie is... Of course it's cheesy, the first half seems to be more comedic, and I would even use the term parody but then you have the second half of this movie... And this is the part which really surprised and shocked me... it's good and realistic.Without giving away any spoilers, I've to say that this is what I really wanted to see in Spider-man 2, his own struggle, the choices you have to make when you decide to be a "super"-hero...Of course Peter Parker went through the same process, but he had super powers, which Marco doesn't, he is the quite, solitary, no family man... Something, well someone to whom we can all represent ourselves... he is a normal guy... His life sucks... But he still continues doing what he seems is good...It's quite late and I just finished watching this movie... I can't describe exactly how I feel, as I said, I really thought of this movie as a comedy from the first half, well everyone will, when you see Marco Zorar with his stupid costume and his moves walking in the daylight... But then something else happens, the reporter's treason, his brother, the undercover cop acting like is guardian angel... It was really good...I saw Kiltro a few months ago... the acting was bad, but I was still impressed by Zorar... I just wish that he gets more roles, but he should really really stop that "autistic" acting... I thought I was watching Kiltro 2... The exact same character... without the mullet...Anyway, my review isn't that developed, but just watch the movie... it's quite good...Tomorrow I'll watch Undisputed III... I just hope Zorar got better...9 out of 10...
View MoreSo, you fancy a film which contains a lot of butt-kicking, off-beat humour and a gritty underlining theme? Whoa, wait, there also has to be plenty of satire.Not after much, are you? Well fear not, because Mirageman delivers!!!Ripped into by some, unknown to most, and establishing himself a solid fanbase with a select few, Marco Zaror was kick-arse long before the comic ever existed; he had the e-mails, the dodgy outfit, the bad haircut... But about the film:Obsessed with being in a prime condition to defend himself after BLAH (generic vigilante background psychology), one night our soon-to-be hero jogs into the scene of a crime in progress and then it's all a blur: his training takes over, he KICKS BUTT! Yes, this is what he was training himself for all this time. Yet it's not clear to him until one of the women he rescued turns out to be a wannabe TV reporter who thanks him on the news at 11.Okay, so now what's a boy to do if he wants to become the next Batman?Going through a range of ridiculous kits and taking the bus to places where trouble may lurk, "Chile's national hero", as the HOT - now bona fide - TV reporter dubs him, finds his exploits methodically covered as she cashes in on her looks (I mentioned that she's HOT, right?) and his antics for a winning combination.But for how long can a dude in a mask stay in the public eye? How much of an impact can one man beating up bag-snatchers make on society? It's at this point that the film takes it up a notch and we see that it has a whole other level of depth, as it effortlessly pivots from light-heartedness-to-something dark; from the downright hilarious-to-sheer brutality for a grand finalé.So if you're looking for something a bit different, do yourself a massive favour and check out Mirageman; you may be disappointed but there's an 8/10 chance that you'll like it!
View MoreZaror's last movie, Kiltro, and this one, are incredibly fun to watch; the best time I've ever have in the cinema was watching them. Mirageman, in any case, is not only fun (the comical depictions of "typical" Chilean stuff are great!), but the social and psychological part of it is moving. Zaror's character is lovable, you can't help to feel the rightness of his cause, in a much deeper way than other superheroes movies like Spiderman, cause he is real! The TV's abuse on Miragamen is also a good metaphor on how the Chilean media is. The only thing I hope is that they don't make a second part... Anyways, watching this movie is money well spent, super recommended :)
