Joaquin Burdado

About This Movie

So, 'Joaquin Burdado' is an interesting piece from '88, really. It’s got that gritty vibe typical of late 80s action flicks. The pacing is a bit uneven—sometimes it drags, but other times it hits you with explosive moments. The plot revolves around this guy, Joaquin, who goes on a revenge spree after his son’s tragedy, which is a classic theme but with a twist. What stands out are those bizarre, magical tattoos on his cellmate, which add a layer of mystique. The performances are rough around the edges, but they fit the raw atmosphere of the film. The practical effects? Not groundbreaking, but they’ve got their charm. It’s definitely a film that makes you think about consequences amidst the chaos.
