    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Contraataque' is an engaging Mexican action film with mixed feedback. Praised for its well-executed action scenes and intense performances by Luis Alberti and Luis Curiel, the film's fast-paced storytelling and compact runtime are appreciated. However, some find the plot predictable and the writing clichéd. Dialogue receives mixed reviews, with some finding it believable and others pedestrian. The authentic portrayal of Mexican reality and military themes is noted. Despite varied opinions, 'Contraataque' is generally seen as a solid, entertaining action movie.

    Surprisingly good, disappointingly short

    It has been a long time since most average movies last at least 100 minutes, but this one delivers everything expected in just about 80 minutes. The movie really deserved more time, but don't get me wrong - it is complete. The scenario is engaging, the characters are likeable and realistic, and the action is on spot. The music and sceneries are excellent, enhancing the overall atmosphere. The actions scenes varies and progresses during the movie, but are each time good and adequately intense. While it feels a bit short, you just want more time with it. Despite that, it's definitely worth watching.

    Chuck Norris is proud of it

    When comes straight to videos a la Cannon films, Contra Ataque falls in that category.

    Ye ve the cheesy dialogue, proud been mexiken army(which they misterious) then important el machismo asking since when Netflix is interested in this here review: The story with a low budget play out average n quite dumb un special forces captain is always behind a drug lords operation sending brother finish him off once kill it became a hunt turned into Carpenter masterpiece Asault in Precincts 13. The action sequences ye know there straight out b class material.

    The live or die that's hearings Gun n roses song.

    Oh do not forget the victims they find house, get arm up with some good old M16.

    The thing like that main bad guy is arm with the heavy of em all, call it call duty thang.

    Forgot to mention the final fight with the captain n boss, could be awesome if were a Mexican machete, add some Korean taste.

    So conclude the film is pure military propaganda like any other, is the stand off seen in many classic western.

    But ye want cheap action to kill the time Go for it.

    Pure realism

    From a citizen Point of view, This Movie, Perfectly, portraits de Reality of My Country, it is by far one of the best pieces of cinema in the latest years, it's realizing I'm natural, acting capabilities, Without, perfectionist actors, it's like you're seeing real people in real life situations. Keep up the work, Netflix. Some scenes are a little bit over, acted, but it's noticeable just to keep up With the plot, also the ending Lives, you wanting more, and hopefully they will be Another. Hay particular de aquí, actor portrait, Real Life, Mexican People and the ambience is in real scenes from the Mountain Country.

    Hollywood needs to redo this

    I Found this movie while I was surfing. This movie has a Great plot, also great action, just needs a bigger budget and better lines for the characters to speak, unless it got messed up in the translation. It also needs a part two right away to continue the plot line. It ended with the next movie start right in the story. I would also keep a couple of the actors and actresses that were in the cast, but upgrade most of the actors. Even though, with the mentioned problems, I loved it and watched every minute of it. They need to not rewrite it, just reshoot using exactly the same story line and I would pay to see it.
