2.5 million euros collected in a single day, equivalent to 325,000 spectators gathered in a room opening day for a total of 8.12 million in the debut weekend of "Torrente 4 " on the card. To reach these dizzying figures It has taken 10 million euros (a clearly profitable) a couple of stressful weeks of promotion to Segura, the small share of the film in a large number of "buddies" in the world of celebrity, an unwarranted use of 3D a dose of least effort in writing the script.
With " Torrente 4: Lethal Crisis " Santiago Segura again confirmed as the highly intelligent and bold type that is, to which he rightly recognizes the merit of creating a character who has been caricaturing Spain become an icon of his own country, but whose success blindness gradually deprived us the most lucid Segura we met in the first two installments for a surrender advantage of his own creature, knowing the guarantee of success without any other sacrifice than merely promotional and commercial.
without reaching the lowest level of the third film where the director and showed signs of exhaustion in the formula, "Torrente 4; Lethal Crisis" returns to deprive us of those grotesque and funny missions José Luis Torrente so well together (Javier Cámara and Gabino Diego) that made the coarse humor and political incorrectness with parody "Cani" jamesbondiana their best weapons. This Torrente in times of crisis remains in force it is incorrect (Moors jokes, handicapped or South American immigrants are among the most acidic and incisive film) due to the increasingly easy targets provided by the society, multiplied ad nauseam the uncouth humor and mostly show a high creative laziness when surround the character more than a mere succession of cameos own trash culture "Telecinco" (from Risto to Bethlehem via Esteban and Maria Patiño Ana Obregon).
Segura is wrong to ask a comedy produced but lawful claim a minimal narrative structure. For its lack of plot, its lack of interest in the secondary characters or simply the inability to give prominence to the antagonist (the singer Francisco, Pepe Navarro folded!) May be most convenient to not consider "Torrente" as an exercise film, much as a couple of winks moviegoers try to believe otherwise, but as a phenomenon that has transcended the cinema and use the big screen as a vehicle to reach their huge legion of fans. Observed figures, there Torrente for awhile. At least while Segura motivation other than that of record at the box office.
