Heroes Wanted (2016)
Enjoyable Spanish knockabout.
7 May 2017
You don't often see these sub-titled.

After the failure of an elite squad sent into the container depot at night, Minister for the Interior Areces (the lead in BALLAD FOR A SAD TRUMPET) recruits a new team of diverse law enforcers - traffic cop Esparbé (THE ONE EYED KING), a Basque hard man, a Catalan, an Equadorian who passes himself off as a super Spanish patriot and the winning Signora Leon who only had the choice of being a whore or joining the Gardia Civil in Andalusia.

Can they prevent the destruction of Madrid? Think POLICE ACADEMY with better production values.

The cast are appealing and the film making spot on so we can forgive HEROES WANTED for all the jokes that misfire.
