Overview
- The sixth film in Santiago Segura's saga is drawing big crowds in Spain, with ámbito calling its release a boom that far out-earned Pedro Almodóvar's latest.
- This time, the disgraced ex-cop José Luis Torrente is drafted by Nox, a fictional far-right party modeled on Spain's Vox, and sets his sights on the presidency.
- An on-screen notice frames the movie as satire, and reviews describe crude, politically incorrect jokes delivered at a frantic pace.
- Clarín reports parodies of Argentina's President Javier Milei and references to Donald Trump, and both Clarín and ámbito note a cameo by former Spanish leader Mariano Rajoy as himself.
- Reviewers say the far right's rise since Torrente's 1998 debut changes how the mockery plays, with some seeing sharp ridicule and others sensing uneasy identification.
