Michael's Movie Grade: F
An unbelievably bad movie from Mexico.
This film takes place in a world where wrestlers are masked vigilantes of the Batman variety. Not only does this premise sound stupid but the film is horribly made. This movie feels amateurish in every department. This is especially obvious in the cinematography. It looks like it was shot by someone holding an iPhone and just learning how to make videos on it. The camera is constantly moving for no reason whatsoever and occasionally it will simply zoom in on a random spot. The odd placements of each closeup shot are unintentionally funny at first but simply get annoying as they persist. This is especially distracting during the fight scenes, where the camera never focuses in on the important part of the action. This movie is also a failure in both the story and character department. The story feels like it was written by an elementary school kid during a single recess. It makes no sense, and it lacks the self-awareness that such a ridiculous premise needs. At first, I thought this was going to be a silly comedy with how ridiculous everything was. However, if that was the intention there are no real jokes in the entire film. Not only this but the story feels like it is always copying some other movie that did everything much better. The characters themselves are as bland and boring as can be. It is hard to care for any of them at all.
This is simply a mess and it hard to believe something this bad found its way to theaters.
