Torrente, the Dumb Arm of the Law Audience Reviews

KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?
CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Jake Nong Torrente, a useless medium aged man, overweight, coward and ugly. He has a dream of being a police, and he actually pretends to be one. At times, it does reflect what the real policemen do. Always be there, at the end of any incident.Rafi is his friend, a action movie freak who is living with his mum and cousin Amparito. Torrente and Rafi will be patrolling Madrid and they get involve in real gun shooting, as they meet drug traffickers and other undesirable human beings.Highly recommended to have nice laughing time. Nice watch and very funny, one of the best comedies in the Spanish movie industry :)
EasternMafia this movie is better than a 80 percent other Hollywood movies............................................................................................. .............................. 'the most important is you to be proud to be Spanish' ( and u must know that u are similar to italians)i didn't see the part II and III, i believe it is so good. it is funny, and real. no fictions.There is another Spanish movie i have watch recently about prosciutto... it is so funny movie. don't know the name.why do i must write 10 lines? this is like TV channels for: 12 or 16...should be a note at this board: it is only for a posting nothing else? if u don't know how to write... visit the site www.
fertilecelluloid Jaw-droppingly hilarious from beginning to end, the brilliant Santiago Segura delivers one of the funniest films ever made about an unbelievably likable racist, homophobic, misogynistic, gloriously non-PC, ex-cop.You really have to see it to truly appreciate its unique sense of lusty invention and bravura staging.Segura's Torrente is a filthy, fat bastard who partners with an insufferable nerd to crack a drug smuggling operation. But the plot merely provides Segura with a framework for his non-stop barrage of brilliant gags and set pieces.Torrente's attempt to seduce his nerd partner's slutty sister is hilarious, as are Torrente's off-the-cuff comments about all women wanting it up the rear and his lecture on how washing your hands before you take a leak shows greater respect for your penis.There are so many gems in this movie it's impossible to catalog them all. Another corker, which occurs near the film's climax, has the kidnapped slut sister dropping to her knees to enthusiastically fellate her captor. When the nerd expresses concern that his sister is being "forced" to have oral sex, Torrente quips: "I don't think she's being forced too hard." The sequel, while still very funny, doesn't have the rough, crude edge of the original.Sublime!
missmara Whether or not you have ever lived in Madrid, this movie is worth seeing.From putting his father out on the street to beg to stealing old ladies' panties, Torrente shows his true colors as a scumbag all the way through. He is loyal to no one except himself. Some of the humor is very typically Madrid, such as the making fun of Catalonians and the continual support the fans give of the Athlético de Madrid soccer team. Even so, the English subtitles on this movie are actually quite good - I was impressed how they translated some unique Spanish slang. Film critics, on the whole, did not favor this movie. This movie is not a serious film, people, so just get ready for raunchy laughs. Also, don't forget to see Torrente 2: Misión in Marbella. Se pasa aún más.
