Welcome to Acapulco

Decent directing by Guillermo Ivan (who also played Rafael), although the shaky-cam scenes were annoying. Good action (but very repetitive), and pacing that fit the 98 min runtime, but the writing was terrible and cliched. Four writers and you'd think at least one could write better than a 5th grader. The worst part was the infantile narrating that really failed this film, as did casting novice Michael Kingsbaker who's acting was amateurish and annoying. The rest of the cast was great, but not enough to get past the annoying Kingsbaker and his narrating. Any review above a 5 for this film (including out of the current 8) are all fake/paid. This film is no better than my 4/10. Avoid, even if you're bored.

The stupidity of this movie is astounding. There is nothing remotely good about it, but if you want to see some nice scenery then it's OK.

So there's a guy who ends up in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Sort of a fish out of water plot, one you've seen a few times before. Lots of things go wrong since the protagonist lands in Acapulco, Mexico, and finds himself chased by all the bad dudes all the way from Mexico to Washington. There's endless action, lots of laughs and some gorgeous spots to look at. And the female lead is a true badass.

Had lots of fun watching this one. J.P.

Maybe it's an ok movie but I'll never know due to the ridiculous narration.Stopped watching about 5 min into it. Skipped ahead 30-40min and more narration,stopped watching and closed the page.

If you are old enough to remember when you would rent a really low budget movie by accident but you paid $4.99 so why not watch it but you end up regretting that choice, this is that kind of movie. Some of it is shot well, the Mexican authorities look very professional and shot well. Many of the actors have been in other good films, you would think it was better. Unfortunately, Michael Kingsbaker performance is a hacky, ham-fisted approach to comedy. If the character had been played straighter and not "wacky", it may have been a much better film.
