A failed act...
sanda_moroianu23 September 2019
I kept watching only because I thought- how naive of me - that at some point the action would start to make sense. And so I wasted a solid hour of my time. A film being a collective work, it baffles me that no one of those involved was able to point out that, as an action film, it just doesn't add up.T he plot is so full of holes, the dialogues are uttered in such an unconvincing manner, the action scenes are so poorly choreographed, that I imagined it was meant to be a parody. Sadly for all involved, me included, it isn't. I blame it mostly on the director; why make a film if you can't? The only plus comes from the comic moments provided by the dialogues between the counsellor and its aide, but these can't save the film, whose onus seems to be on the criminal activities of a local gang of pimps. And, why the involvement of a Spanish policeman? Only to offer two actors the opportunity to speak bad Spanish, I guess. Also on the positive side, a bunch of beautiful young women, in attractive gear. And the song performed by Ana Baniciu.

Why? Just why?
gabrielgiurca-39-50054824 September 2019
Whomever directed this should take another job, I heard Uber is always hiring. Seriously dude, I could've done a better job and I have no idea how to direct. The plot has tons of holes, there is absolutely no comedy except for some scenes between the 2 office guys that somehow managed to be sort of funny.

The rest is one huge mess with pimps, spanish guy, and special trained girls that are put in harm's way for no particular reason since it would've been so much easier to just storm the place. (as some character even suggested)

Also characters are picked wrong, I mean the guy that supposedly was tough and trained the girls is small and funny looking, there's no way he is tough, he's the type you wanna get out and have a beer on a Friday night, not the guy who trains elite troops, (of girls?). All in all, terrible script, terrible play, terrible characters and non exiting director. I just hope one of the dudes playing was also shooting this on his phone in his spare time. All in all a total waste of time and probably a way for everybody to make some money from netflix for "content" if you can call it that.

And hey, placing a bunch of atttractive young woman in a movie does not automatically makes it good :) Less bad, not def not good.

It's not THAT bad
paul314156 February 2022
This movie received a lot of scathing reviews, almost all from fellow Romanian citizens. This comes as a surprise, but derives from Romania being a very psychologically wounded and self-harming country.

This is not an Oscar aspiring movie. It's just a comedy with some action, and it does its entertaining job. The acting is average to good. It's not as bad as others said. The humor is sometimes dry but this is by design.

The most alarming thing is that leftist cancer is already crawling in the Romanian psyche. There is one creepy commentator complaining (well of course, let's start complaining and being offended) about "sexism". Sexism about what? In a movie about sex-slave trafficking? Or about the six female troopers? It's comedy, honey. Grow up. Movies are not for alleviating your own frustrations, dear tormented Romanian birthing person viewer.

Yes, there are some things I don't like either, for instance why do a Romanian businessman (Codin Maticiuc) or playboy/motorcyclist (the laughable in real life Catalin Cazacu) have to masquerade as actors? However, they were not so bad as to harm the movie. Average at best, but not bad.

Or, why did we have to get a Romanian actor (Gica Craioveanu) to speak such bad Spanish that even I, a non-speaker of Spanish, would cringe every time he open his mouth?

However, on the whole this was a comedy that made me laugh. So it was successful.

I would advise the people who loaded the movie on IMDb to better manage the actors' profiles; having skeleton profiles with no pictures is not OK.

I am disappointed not in the movie, but in the infuriating content of Romanian reviews. It's ugly. It's ridiculous in the eyes of balanced foreign people. We are making fools of ourselves.

Terrible and disgusting
bobicaradu_c23 September 2020
Never seen a worst movie. Spanish language is not Spanish. Acting is like a kinder garden stage. Script doesn't make any sense. Is a shame. Please don't weist time watching it. Really but really bad movie. Please don't do a mistake and want to watch it.

Not worth watching
gheorghepetrovay28 November 2019
Cringe at its best. The producers tried to gather an ensemble cast from avaragely famous Romanian celebrities. The main problem is that the celebrities come from from a wide array of domains except acting. They are footballers, singers and stand up comedians.

The result is a poorly written story, with a thin story line, logical fractures and a lot of bad acting. Humor is mostly absent.

Very bad movie
2risteska21 October 2019
Who directed this movie should take another job. Also, these actors are very bad ones. No humor, no action, is like a movie for a three year old child. 0 talent.
