About This Movie

The Aces of Contraband has this gritty vibe that feels authentic to the late '80s action scene. Directed by Fernando Durán Rojas, it dives deep into the murky world of drug trafficking, with a focus on the human element behind the crime. The pacing can be uneven at times, but it adds to that raw, unpredictable feel. Performances are quite solid, with a cast that really seems to embody the desperation and danger of their roles. Practical effects are used effectively, giving the various stunts and shootouts a weight that CGI just can’t replicate. It’s not your standard action flick; there’s a lot of layers to wade through here, which makes it a bit distinctive within the genre.

Released on VHS in 1987, later DVD in 2004.Filmed on location, adding a raw authenticity to the visuals.Features practical stunt work, minimal CGI.Spanish language film with English subtitles available.
