Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Claudio Carvalho In Rio de Janeiro, the Argentinean truck driver Javier Labat (Pablo Echarri) gets in trouble while playing soccer with a group of Brazilian workers in the harbor. He fights against the guys and is helped by his compatriot Tony Corsini (Mariano Martínez); he escapes with his truck, but is chased by the guys; he has a serious accident in Rio-Niterói Bridge, falling down in Baía de Guanabara with his truck. Tony brings money and dry clothes to Javier, forges his passport and they travel to Buenos Aires. When Javier claims his handbag, he find 5 kg of cocaine inside it and together with X, they dump the drug in the toilet of the airport, where they meet the sexy Brazilian Mariana (Carol Castro). They kidnap her and are chase by two detectives. Javier meets his uncle, who tells him that the transport company of their family had partnership with drug dealers; when his father found a loading of drugs, he hide it and had an accident with his truck provoked by the criminals, where his younger brother died. Now the criminal organization is seeking the missing drugs. Javier is chased by the drug dealers and the corrupt detectives, and helped by Tony, Mariana and friends."Peligrosa Obsesión" is an ambitious and full of action Argentinean production, having well choreographed fights, car chases and other clichés of the genre. Unfortunately the screenplay is a complete mess, with a confused situation and characters. The story is difficult to be followed in spite of being an action movie, and the motives of the characters are never clear. I am not familiar with the lead cast, but the Brazilian Carol Castro is gorgeous and extremely sexy; however the director was afraid, maybe for moral reasons, to make a threesome among Mariana, Tony and Javier although her relationship with the men induces to such situation. Pablo Echarri has a weak performance and Mariano Martínez has better acting, but the lead trio shows a great chemistry and is charismatic. In the end, "Peligrosa Obsesión" is a different and Hollywoodian Argentinean movie and a reasonable entertainment. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Perigosa Obsessão" ("Dangerous Obsession")

jotix100 The Argentine cinema, as a rule, likes to make intimate movies in which ideas are explored. Big action movies are not exactly what the country's films have become notorious for. Enter an ambitious new director, Raul Rodriguez Pena, who wanted to create an action movie that wanted to capitalize on that genre. "Peligrosa obsesion" is what came out.There are aspects of this movie we have already seen to better results than what the director accomplished with this movie. Yes, there is a lot of action. Some of it, is just as good, if not better than other movies of the genre. What the creators of the movie forgot, was write a plausible plot because most of what comes out in the film doesn't make sense.The film is not helped by Pablo Echarri's appearance in it. As Javier Labat, he is not convincing. Mariano Martinez, a better Argentine actor, who we have admired in "No sabe no contesta" and "El Faro", fares much better as Tony Corsini, whose presence at the beginning of the film makes no sense at all, but who is an integral character to all what happens to Javier. Carol Castro plays a Brazilian journalist who knew much more than what she let on.While this is not a horrible film by any means, a stronger screen play and a stronger lead would have done wonders for it.

dasa108 Here is a example from Argentina, about the traditional effort made by people who likes to do action movies, following the steps of Comandos Azules, and Comodines. Well filmed, with quality in the photography, in the choreography of fights and action sequence, but has problems with the actors, the script, and of course, with the actresses. Argentina has two kinds of women acting: actresses, and models. With guys, is the same thing. Mr. Echarry overacted all the movie. Mr. Martinez, better actor, has some charm, and is more nice see him acting than the others. His role also is better and well defined. Mr. Echarry, cannot work with the lines of his character.The actresses: this is the B movie traditional, when you should see at least two sex scene, and a lot of naked womans. Spoiler!!!! You will feel bored, because is too much sugerence, and less "reality". Ms. Onetto overacted also. Is a bad actress. She is better doing comedy, for example No hay 2 sin 3. Well, you can see the movie, is't bad, but every B movie from other parts are better.

vraptor5 I saw this movie in Argentina last weekend and I almost walked out of it in the middle. It was like somebody gave the producer money to make the ultimate southamerican action movie, so he copied and pasted elements from all the known action movies. All the clichés were there, from the bad guy that does not seize the opportunity to kill the good guy when he could, to the lead guy finally getting killed but was wearing a bulletproof jacket. Very predictable movie. If you like action movies, you have already seen this one, or at least you will know how it ends.2/10(I reserve the 1/10 for really unwatchable movies)
