Welcome to Acapulco

This film had everything, including action, mystery, suspense, politics, drama, spys, romance & comedy 😆! I laughed out loud, became involved & was able to forget a very stressful week! The acting was great & locations were lovely. The narrative was intentional due to the protagonist's naivety! This movie is a keeper & I'll watch it anytime I need to relax & escape for awhile!

This film gets quite obnoxious with all the narration they do, with some over stylized editing. Id ditch all the narration parts and maybe this film would have some more potential.

M.I.T. Matt Booth (Michael Kingsbaker) designs video games in NYC. He is on his way to New Mexico to hawk his latest game "Wrath of Todd" an urban action game. He bumps into his real estate friend Tony Woods (Bradley Gregg) and the next thing you know he is flying to Acapulco. Upon arrival, everyone is after him because he has "the package." He teams up with Adriana (Ana Serradilla) who attempts to keep him safe. The film is a grindhouse spoof. It utilizes Michael Madsen and William Baldwin but somehow didn't get Danny Trejo. Michael Kingsbaker was unconvincing in his role reading tepid scripted lines. They spent time and effort to get the scenes right, but somehow the script didn't run on all cylinders. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

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.

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.

It was like watching a movie, telling a story. Annoying audio from the background of video is unbearable.

It's impossible to watch even a half hour from this movie.

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.
