Review of Mandrill

Mandrill (2008)
7/10
A cheesy and campy but entertaining Latino James Bond/70's Kung Fu type movie. Worth watching. Great ending. I say B

"Revenge is a vicious circle, once you start you can't stop." After Antonio's (Zaror) parents are killed when he was young he turns into a ruthless bounty hunter named Mandrill. He is obsessed with finding his parent's killer and when he finally does he also meets Dominique, who could be his downfall. Going in I was expecting to see a Latino James Bond type movie. What I got was a Latino James Bond type movie that is also a 70's Kung-Fu type thing. The fighting was a little cheesy and the music and editing were very much like a 70's TV show. All that said, I was very entertained throughout the entire movie and I recommend this. The ending is great and the last scene leaves you wondering...which is rare for this type of movie. Overall, much better then anticipated and worth a watch. I give it a B.
