Featured review
Torrente, a useless medium aged man, overweight, coward and ugly. He has a dream of being a police, and he actually pretends to be one. At times, it does reflect what the real policemen do. Always be there, at the end of any incident.
Rafi is his friend, a action movie freak who is living with his mum and cousin Amparito.
Torrente and Rafi will be patrolling Madrid and they get involve in real gun shooting, as they meet drug traffickers and other undesirable human beings.
Highly recommended to have nice laughing time. Nice watch and very funny, one of the best comedies in the Spanish movie industry :)
