Poor...

"Medellín" sets out to be a fun action-comedy but stumbles under the weight of a weak plot and lackluster humor. The film follows a group of characters navigating the chaotic streets of Medellín, Colombia, where action-packed sequences and comedic moments are meant to intersect. While the film has moments of charm, it never fully captures the tone or energy it strives for.The action scenes, though frequent, lack the excitement or cleverness seen in better films of the genre. Instead of thrilling the audience, they feel repetitive and fail to bring anything fresh to the table. The comedy, meanwhile, is often forced, relying too heavily on slapstick humor and tired stereotypes that fail to land. The cast, while capable, doesn't quite mesh together as well as it should. The performances feel disjointed, with some characters coming across as one-dimensional, leaving little room for meaningful connections or development. "Medellín's" attempt to blend high-octane action with comedy ultimately misses the mark. While the setting offers potential for a unique atmosphere, the film's predictable plot and lack of strong comedic timing make it an underwhelming experience.

The recipe is not working

Franck Gastambide applies the same recipe as his three previous films. But with this film, the result is less successful. Perhaps because certain ingredients are missing: the equivalent of Medi Sadoun's character in Les Kaïra (2012) or Malik Bentalha's in Pattaya (2016) or Taxi 5. Here, he is replaced by the character played by Ramzy Bedia, already present in the two aforementioned films. But it doesn't work, because he's not a source of humor.

This is also due to the subject matter, the drug cartels in Colombia. It's a less interesting subject, as it's been dealt with many times before, and much more brilliantly. A poor choice, then. And that's despite some nice ingredients: Mike Tyson as a trainer or the romantic attribute (Essined Aponte).

Otherwise, Franck Gastambide's talents are still there: a character with logorrheic dialogue, a mix of situational comedy and action sequences that are meant to be, and are, breathtaking, and the dwarf (Anouar Toubali) who brings his variations, much less well integrated here than in Les Kaira or Pattaya. In short, the recipe doesn't work here.

I saw it online

Reda (Ramzy Bedia) runs a training facility for boxers. Stan (Franck Gastambide) is like a brother to Reda and works out there. Reda's real brother Brahim (Brahim Bouhlel) is a Vlogger who pretends he is Pablo Escobar, cartel leader. There is a post showing Brahim being kidnapped by the cartel. His brother decides to fly from Paris to Columbia to save his brother. Only Stan and Chafix (Anouar Toubali) agree to go with him. They kidnap the son of a leader for an exchange only to discover PLOT SPOILER Brahim faked the whole thing to get followers. The whole film goes on in a comedy of errors that lack the humor intended, except for maybe the shark scene. At times it was an action film and not a comedy.

Guide: F-word. No sex. Male butt nudity (Anouar Toubali)
