Combustion

I've seen this movie at school and i just fell asleep. There's just nothing. No action, no important plots, just typical soap opera and people f**king each other in multiple scenes. It's all Fast & Furious minus the action and more soft-core porn done multiple times throughout the movie. This should be trashed and called one of the Europe's worst films. The acting, camera direction and directing are okay, though the plot and the action are the problem, especially with too much scenes of soft-core porn. What does that make it look like? Spanish Emmanuelle with the mix of Fast & The Furious?

I'd recommend you to watch something else instead of this P.O.S.

Nice cars, BUT no thrill, no suspense, no real action, I would say more of a very cheap soap opera! I wish to say that this is a good movie, because I love foreign movies, anything that can impress me more than the Hollywood way, but this is not the case. Unless you are looking for some soft porn, a beautiful actress that looks ten times better than Eva Mendez, (The two of them have a resemblance and personally I don't think Mendez is hot) and Adriana Ugarte looks like the real thing, but that's it. This movie plays like the kids who like to play Indians and cowboys, because the actors seem to be playing the "Fast and furious", as I said in the beginning with nice cars, but the acting, the editing, the music, and pretty much everything else is uninspired, this is the kind of movie that maybe your girlfriend would try to get you in! The race in "Grease" is more exciting than anything you will see in here,heck I have drove better and faster than the guys who did the stuns,there's no fuel to create the "Combustion" on this piece of crap if you don't believe me you just have to waste hour and twenty minutes of your life.

i have to say that this movie blew my expectations away. everything happening here took me by surprise, all the twists and turns i did not expect. who ever says this is a cheap reproduction of the fast and furious is dead wrong. besides that there are luxurious cars and races included, i must say that the story is more likely to be digested than the f&f scenarios. who ever did not watch this movie, do not take into consideration the score on IMDb, the ones who voted must be pimpled face play station games and high octane fantasy car movie fans. don't forget this movie didn't benefit from world wide frenzied commercials like f&f did, but still managed to raise the budget to put some fast cars in it. i gave it a 10...too bad it wont help the 4.8 avg grade for this movie.

Now the easy thing to do is to say that Combustión is a Spanish copy of 'the fast and the furious' (as opposed to what some others wrote, it's closer to the first 'furious' than the rest). But it goes above and beyond a high-concept car race film (which eventually became formula) and adds a thriller element which really gives it an unexpected energy.

The film revolves around a thieving couple, Navas and Ari, who fool rich men into Ari into their home, while her boyfriend comes in to steal from them. They eventually come across Mikel, who works at a Jewellery store. As they begin their elaborate plan on this target, they realize that Mikel is a man with a past. A past that will be useful for Navas and Ari. Thus begins a thrill-ride, riddled with thievery, adrenaline-rushing action and thumping electronic music, all adding to the protagonists' lives spiraling into madness.

The three leads, Álex González, Alberto Ammann and Adriana Ugarte are more than capable at creating a chemistry, it's as simple as falling into each other's beds (not a disservice, just a trope of the action/car movie!). What makes their relationships much more believable is the predicaments they get themselves and each other into. So much so that their livelihoods become intertwined even when one of the three is not on-screen. It's a thrilling power-play that at times had me confused at who was playing who!

I enjoyed that, because beyond giving the audience an exciting race-car thrill-ride, Director Daniel Calparsoro managed to add enough twists to make the audience relate to and revile the lead characters at the same time. Now, this aspect of the film is what pushes it above a standard angry- young-men-driving-while-women-raise-the-illegal-race-car-flag up and down (though looking very attractive while doing so!) into a film worth paying attention to.

For guys and girls (i'm sure girls like cars as much as men do, and if not, the characters' interplay is also very exciting to watch).

I wish this film came out on a different weekend from Iron Man 3, it would've gotten a good audience.

I must be the only guy thinking i'd rather see Iron Man 3 a week AFTER it's release, and give this homegrown Spanish action movie a shot (after all I am Spanish and in Barcelona). Well worth the price of admission.

You may consider it a Spanish version of Fast and Furious. Likewise, captivating women and sport cars are major grarantees for box office. The extra element is robbing with a beautiful girl(boy) as a bait. At the beginning the plot seems quite firm, but it runs loose and eventually becomes a bit irreasonable. I was hoping it would avoid the platitudes that we have already seen too much in this genre of films. Alas, they swerved right into the same old story after the first turn.
