El Camino Christmas (2017)

Overrated and overhyped

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Awesome Movie

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

One of the best Christmas movies I've ever seen.Its not perfect that's for sure , but that was what was perfect about it , everything was flawed , just like real situations and real people.All the actors were top notch without a hint of boredom in any scene and D'Onofrio knocked it out of the park as the boozy deputy trying to make good , you know how you watch a movie and pick out the main characters , in this film I had the feeling there were no main characters , just well jelled entertainment. This is not your ordinary cookie cutter Christmas movie fare...Don't try and dissect it , you'll spoil all the fun...Enjoy

I decided to review after reading all the ridiculous reviews.This is a Christmas movie in the same way Die Hard is a Christmas movie and a Comedy in the same way The Lobster and/or Welcome to Me are Comedies. This is not your classic Christmas or Family Comedy (dispite the way it is portrayed via Netflix's user interface). If any of the aforementioned movies don't make sense in their categories, this *might* not be for you. It has a really simple plot that gets predictable, it has some great one liners, a fantastic cast, a few good moments of action and is well paced, overall. Personally I didn't like the ending, but enjoyed it well enough. I probably won't watch it again, but I don't regret watching it by any stretch of imagine. If you've got 90min and looking to be entertained, I say give it a shot. What do you have to lose? If it was rated using the MPAA system, my guess would be either PG-13 or R for a few moments of strong language, some brief violence and a drug reference. It could probably play, unedited, on AMC or FX after 9pm.

El Camino directed by David E. Talbert. This movie has been the most unique Black-Comedy Christmas Movie I have ever seen, it has the happy touchy feeling as the classic "It's A Wonderful Life" and the dark gritty humor as "Bad Santa." It's a movie that will offend and a movie that will make those with weaker hearts sad and those with hyper-logical thought process angry. But what makes this movie so watchable in my view, is how possible this scenario is. Hostage situations are the most tense crime thrillers in the genre. This one tells the story of a man in the wrong place at the wrong time and how a simple altercation exaggerated into a catastrophe. By the end of the movie, I was so stunned by the beautiful scene elements. The intensity, the calm music, the hopelessness. It is a movie that is specifically understood by certain people, not everyone will see eye to eye on the quality of this film. It has the same classic potential as "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation." Which was a comedy that was not perfectly understood by every viewer, it has a unique confusion. This movie has that same Classical Christmas Confusion

This is may first review in the IMDB. I already saw great movies, good movies, and not so good movies, but this one... It is a great piece of garbage. And no, i'm not a hater, i'm not writting this review because i don't like low budget movies. It is simple because this movie tricked me in a shorf of way that i was never expecting. I thought it was a comedy, but i got caught in a drama that hooked me. Not because the movie showed something good that caught my attemption. but simple because i only figuret out that the movie was no a comedy in a scene about 40 minutes over when people start to cry like if they best imaginary friend had died... This movie don't even worth it the time i spend to writte this review whit my bad english, but i only did that in the hope of save a unsuspecting. Please don't watch this.
