Dangerous Obsession Audience Reviews

Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
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)
luiza do brasil This film is exactly the type of film Latin America needs to bring its own mass audiences back to the movie theaters. The artsy films do well in film festivals, especially outside their own countries and Latin America itself. But the masses see the misery and suffering of these art films every day, and are not going to come back to national cinema until a good part of the films lose their artsy, long and boring reputation - a perception held even by the so called elite, and become the escapist entertainment most seek, without reading subtitles for 2 hours.This film is a step in that direction. Definitely not a film to win awards, or critical praise, it is however a crowd pleaser. A glossy American style production (but with the countries' own stars and nuances), this thriller is a winner. Another exceptional quality is its "regional" appeal. Of the three main characters, two are Argentinian/Uruguayan, and one Brazilian. Some dialog in Portuguese is sprinkled in, and the action in the film takes place between Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires. It's great seeing two neighboring potential world powers in many senses(Argentina and Brazil) working together and showing a bit of the best of what each has, instead of these countries' usual reliance on distant continents for their popular entertainment. Bravo!
