Mandrill (2009) Reviews
A cheesy and campy but entertaining Latino James Bond/70's Kung Fu type movie. Worth watching. Great ending. I say B
"Revenge is a vicious circle, once you start you can't stop." After Antonio's (Zaror) parents are killed when he was young he turns into a ruthless bounty hunter named Mandrill. He is obsessed with finding his parent's killer and when he finally does he also meets Dominique, who could be his downfall. Going in I was expecting to see a Latino James Bond type movie. What I got was a Latino James Bond type movie that is also a 70's Kung-Fu type thing. The fighting was a little cheesy and the music and editing were very much like a 70's TV show. All that said, I was very entertained throughout the entire movie and I recommend this. The ending is great and the last scene leaves you wondering...which is rare for this type of movie. Overall, much better then anticipated and worth a watch. I give it a B.
Painfully Campy
I caught this film at Fantastic Film 2009, and was completely surprised by the kudos it got. While I'm all for a good fun ride of a film, this movie was at times so purposely campy & cheesy it was painful to watch. On top of that, the plot was paper thin, and the acting mediocre. The filmmakers stated during the Q&A that they whipped this film together so quickly they didn't have time to write a script - and it shows. The only thing making this film worthwhile to watch is the performance of the lead actor Marco Zaror. His martial arts skills are phenomenal, and under the supervision of a competent director he could become the next big action star. Should you run out and see this film? No. But is it worth a rental on a rainy day when nothing else good is available? Sure.
WHERE'S WALDO?
This film is so bad I thought it was a spoof of 70's action films complete with wack-a-da wack-a-da music and disco. Marko Zaror plays hit man Mandrill and is given a voice that sounds like Jason Statham. His parents were killed by a hit man named "Cyclops" who lost an eye during the incident. He has become Mandrill's target. Earlier we saw Mandrill looking for a guy named Waldo, asking everyone "Where's Waldo." You can't help but laugh. There are flashbacks to his youth and his TV idol, John Colt, an oriental action hero who is also unintentionally comical. In order to get to "The Cyclops" Mandrill must get the information from his daughter who he woos. Terrible acting and dubbing. No f-bombs, brief sex? no nudity (arms in way). This film might be better to watch as an MST project.
