Powerful machine!

Rating: 5/10 (7 September 2017)

For those who like American football and absurd comedies, this can be a drinking option.
The tape seeks at all times the entertainment and the fun with situations full of tolerable and sympathetic ridicule, where the pursuit of the claim in the pride and the value of playing for the ideals in spite of the consequences are the strongest subjects that are developed in the speech. Thus, a group of convicts will be able to take revenge of the abuses committed by the guard-prisons in a game of football. Although the circumstances deviate from common sense and do not cause the laughter, they become dynamic and keep hooked to that spectator without so many pretensions in the elaboration of the argument.
From the performances we have what we can expect a priori: Adam Sandler and Chris Rock in their conventional comic roles. They do not leave even a single moment of what they know how to do better: light characters but with a lot of charisma. Also it is necessary to mention that Burt Reynolds hardly obtains a discreet personage, although its interpretation brings the unique hint of sobriety before so much dizzy chatter.
From the aesthetic and technical section we have a film full of sequences in slow motion to give showdown to the spectacular and action that becomes a contact sport. This is accompanied by familiar musical themes that further promote and accentuate the dynamic character of the film.
In short, an acceptable and jovial alternative if one can deviate from prejudices and accept in advance that the film is a hobby lacking in presumption.
