Compadres

This Mexican crime caper comedy gets decent performances from its two leads Omar Chaparro and Joey Morgan, and, on occasion, its dark humor works. However, for the most part the preponderance of the movie is filled with strong violence, a number of gross-out scenes, many attempts at black humor that fall flat, and numerous crosses and double-crosses that can get quite tiresome.

The plot revolves around a Mexican police lieutenant (Chapparo) who must join forces with a 17-year-old hacker (Morgan) to try and find his kidnapped pregnant girlfriend, as they get caught up in a Mexican mob chase involving millions of dollars.

Overall, the film directed by Enrique Begne, just,in my opinion, wasn't consistent enough in what it offered. To me, it seemed to have its moments but then would regress again, and thus the low rating.
