These films are made to entertain , and this movie , especially for a good time and a nice entertainment . "Torrente" is a passable and unapologetic dark comedy with great special effects , it has several funny and hilarious scenes and quite successful action scenes with persecution , car crashes and many other things . The picture contains thrills , noisy action , tongue-in-cheek , grotesque situations and above all , humor . Although there are also nudism , bad-mouthed language , bad taste jokes and profanities . ¨Torrente 5¨ is written, directed, produced and stars Segura, whose production house Amiguetes Entertainment produced the film , UIP holds Spanish distribution rights . The screenplay is absurd as well as crazy , just what makes laugh a lot , that the character "Torrente" a very slutty , clumsy , sexist , Machista , extreme-right-wing , on a real person is despicable , being not adequate , but this is a film that satirizes all this and that just means he's a pathetic character , though he also has his unsettling charms . This firth Torrente grossed moderate success at box office ; however ¨Torrente , El Brazo Tonto De Ley¨ set box office records in its day, took $707,000 and Torrente 2 grossed more than €22 million in 2001 .

The movie contains a colorful and adequate cinematography by Teo Delgado . Thrilling as well as appropriate musical score by Roque Baños . The film takes advantage of impressive special effects , especially on its final part when takes place a breathtaking chase between cars and airplane , including : bound and leaps vehicles and expensive crashes . In fact , this Torrente was Nominated Goya Best Special Effects to Antonio Molina and Ferran Piquer . Santiago Segura dares to make films with total entertainment and bemusement . And "Torrente " is pure eschatological fun , it is 100 and some minutes of fun and laughters . It is a commendable effort by Santiago Segura to make a film like this . Few directors are able to achieve results as ¨Torrente¨ , the biggest box-office in Spain until ¨8 Apellidos Vascos¨. This film will not disappoint Santiago Segura fans.The first instalment was this ¨Torrente El Brazo Tonto De La Ley¨ ; being followed by "Torrente 2: Mission in Marbella" with Juanito Navarro , Jose Luis Lopez Vazquez , Paloma Cela , Santi Millan , Jose Mota , Pablo Carbonel ,among others ; ¨Torrente 3 El Protector¨ in which the horrendous Spanish detective becomes a bodyguard , being performed by José Mota , Yvonne Sciò , Eduardo García , Fabio Testi ; ¨Torrente 4 Lethal crisis¨ with Kiko Rivera , Javier Gutiérrez .

Trash, just that . A waste of the time of everyone involved in the making of this crap, a waste of the time of everyone who's ever gonna watch it. How can i explain how bad this movie is? It's offensively bad. This movie tells to your face that you are a dumb idiot and now you gonna watch what you deserve. I can't ,you should watch it to understand what a vomit turd it is. Except you should never watch it. Never ever. Some idiot gets out of prison and then decides to make a spoof of Ocean's Eleven going across every tiresome raunchy comedy cliché and doing it wrong at that. At one point the joke i that one man finds more attractive a fat old transvestite looking woman than a pretty slim one. Another joke is that an idiot seems to go down on Alec Baldwin but no, he was just picking up a wire. This $hit for what seemed to be 3 hours , but is probably one and a half or something like that. I don't care to look for the actual run time. This movie made me angry and embarrassed at the same time. I was like ashamed to be in the movie theater.

I love the TORRENTE character and I believe if perhaps the greater movie character ever developed; however after waiting to almost 1 AM to see the movie (on a Wednesday) because it was SOLD OUT; after a few minutes I almost leave the theater completely disappointed.First of all; some characters are back but with different actors and not as good as the originals. Others quite capable like Firoentino Fernandez are almost unused. Screen time was given to the more stupid characters (perhaps cheaper actors) and very little to the really good ones but Santiago Segura who this time is not really able to keep the movie going.Alec Baldwin is another misstep; usually a good actor and somewhat comedian; here is none. Only overacts as the bad guy and dares to speak Spanish (not that bad really but little).Instead of going to excess situations the script tries to criticize Spanish political situation. If you are aware of what is happening there you can catch some jokes; but it is not easy to understand, I really hope Segura (also the writer and director) makes some money to repair this mess and makes a good Torrente 6. In the meantime; just forget this.

Casposo (dandruffy) is used in Spain to describe poor concoctions, endeavors that lack ambition, half hearted efforts that exploit the simplest forms of entertainment. Torrente, Santiago Seguraś character returns for a 5th outing and the results are what you can expect when a franchise has been eploited for so long, specially if its core elements are bad taste humor, fecal jokes, and continuous demonstrations of bad manners. As usual, Torrente, mean spirited, shitty, bad mouthed, etc. has a grandiose plan for which he is forced to recruit the dumbest, most ridiculous and unoperative collection of crooks, embodied by an eccentric selection of real life has beens, freaky stand up comedians with no acting experience, a matador and some TV stars, with the added presence of A. Baldwin that seems to have had a good time entertaining those types, so far away from his world. The result is the one you would expect: hilarious for the addicts, so so for discriminating audiences.Santiago Segura proves again he is a pretty good director, although devoured by his creation. Ford Coppola famously said once that Star Wars had ended the career of the most talented director of its generation. Something similar can be said about Segura: He seems to be a slave of his character, obsessed with serving yet another dose of its antics, each time with less success, but even so a success so big, in Spanish terms, at least, that keeps him entangled with his creation, unable to break away to other stories I'm sure he'll do as well or even better.
