The worst fan of Atletico Madrid It is no wonder that the franchise, filmed in a comedy-criminal vein about Jose Luis Torrent, got to us with great difficulty, and even then failed to find a viewer. Firstly, it concerns moral and ethical norms: the main creator of Jose Luis Torrente - director, screenwriter and actor Santiago Segura - invented him a complete cynic, greedy and lying person who loves to control those who are weaker and stupider than him, and the amount of obscene vocabulary, coupled with vulgar hints, and not only hints, but with direct speech - is off the scale; such blatant obscenity is enough for us and because of the Ocean. And this is the second nuance of the unknown pentalogy about Jos Luis Torrent: the film is Spanish, and in 1998, when the first part was released, there was a total advantage of the Hollywood product.
But, nevertheless, there were craftsmen and transported still films about it to the policeman. What kind of cop is he? Such should be driven in the neck with such a weighty kick that it flew to the South Pole! A disgusting man in his forties (in fact, Santiago Segure was 33 at the time of filming), living with his father, who is confined to a wheelchair, and his son makes him fight. And that's just one of the abominations that Jose Luis Torrente is capable of, imagine what other things he does. That’s not for nothing said above about the moral and ethical standards of this film. But by some unknown miracle, Torrente and a team of boobs, which he has recruited as an auxiliary force, although Torrente is a coward and could escape any second as soon as he senses danger, manages to neutralize a serious criminal group.
Of course, much of what is shown in the film “Torrent, the stupid hand of the law” is outright banter and it is unlikely that such low people exist at all, not to mention serving in the ranks of the interior (although...) I'm thinking now, but no, they can't! I hope...), in this case, Santiago Segura is too flirting and overstepping the stick, but you have to be prepared for this if suddenly this film is interested, because it is based on a dirty ridicule of human vices in the face of police officer Jose Luis Torrente, who actually two years before the events took place with infamous tour of the organs. By the way, about the "stupid hand of the law." Jose Luis Torrente, of course, has a huge number of disgusting human qualities, but stupidity is not his. He knows how to subdue weak people, and stupid leaders are not, vile scoundrels - yes, but not stupid.
I was amazed by the fact that I happened to see as many as ten films where actor Santiago Segura starred, including the Hellboy dilogy and the second Blade, but, honestly, I could not remember him, apparently, he has very small roles there, giving little reason to talk about his playing in them. But the bad soldier that the general does not want to become, so Segura decided that at least with such a moral freak as Jose Luis Torrente, but, most importantly, he will be on the main plan, will be able to declare himself. I can’t say that he didn’t succeed in this role. It is clear that Segura, as the writer and director of the film, knew what he wanted from his character, and even though this character is disgusting, Segura, no matter what, made this film. Among the other actors, I can only highlight Neus Asensi, who was also 33 years old at the time of filming, but she looked beautiful and seductive. By the way, in cameo you can note Javier Bardem and Fernando Trueba, and several other famous people in Spain. Such cameos will become the hallmark of films about José Luis Torrent.
I can not advise this film to a potential viewer, I can only warn that it contains obscene language and the main character, who is a representative of the lowest moral and ethical qualities for a person. And if you are ready for such obscenity, then, in principle, you can get acquainted with the dirty and vulgar criminal comedy from the Spanish manufacturer. But if you miss it, it's okay, at least your faith in the European police won't be shaken.
