Boring
fervly10 August 2023
Very boring. "In the realm of law enforcement cinema, 'Asedio' arrives with a promising premise that quickly fizzles into mediocrity. Set within the backdrop of Spanish policing, the film revolves around a female police officer, aiming to carve a niche with its diverse perspective. However, what could have been an invigorating take on the genre falls flat, succumbing to well-worn stereotypes and an overall lack of excitement.

The main character, the policewoman at the heart of the story, offers a glimmer of hope for a fresh narrative angle. Yet, this potential remains largely untapped as the film resorts to clichéd portrayals, squandering the opportunity to delve into the complexities of her experiences. Her journey, while attempting to exude strength, lacks the emotional depth needed to truly resonate with audiences.

Yeah the other negative reviews weren't lying.

The beginning was pretty nice but then the movie loses its steam quite quickly.

The main character is extremely unlikeable person. She steals, lies and gets other people in trouble. Meanwhile, her actions are best described as nonsensical. But that's also true for all of the other characters. It seems like they're doing things just for the sake of it, without any rhyme or reason. The ending is also ridiculous, almost laughable. Expected more tbh.

Another painful Spanish film, for those who already know it, or have seen a Spanish film, there is nothing new, don't waste time, it's not even worth spending an hour, after 10 minutes it's boring, poorly filmed, bad characters Not one of the approaches is credible, and what to say about the actors, keep training, not even for the school play.

That said, it's hard to remember a worse movie, I'm in the habit of finishing watching any movie even if I don't like it, otherwise I don't think so, but this one cost me a lot.

Would someone invest in Spanish cinema, with these arguments and these actors if you were not a subsidized cinema? I doubt it.
