Compadres


"Compadres" is Pantelion's latest comedic endeavor and it is a fun romp. However, the story is hard to follow at times.

Omar Chaparro plays Garza, a cop who plays by his own rules. Garza's compadre is killed on duty and because of that, Garza vows to avenge him.  He meets an American hacker (Joey Morgan) and they team up in order to bring justice to the man who has done them both wrong.

Chaparro and Morgan work well together and it's fun to see them interact with each other. The villains, Guasa and Porky, provide comedic relief as well and steal the scene whenever they are on screen. Aislinn Derbez and Eric Roberts are also in the film and while both talented, their roles are small and they aren't allowed to fully showcase their range.

The story can get convoluted and repetitive, but the film does provide laughs. It's worth a watch.
