El complot mongol

Its a movie of dark humor, but not a blockbuster super hero movie. So be ready for that.

Poorly made. Very dumb. Waste of time. The plot makes no sense. It attempts to be a comedy but is crude and violent. I am glad that I did not understand what the conspiracy was so that I do not spoil the movie for others.

It reflects the political-police reality of the 60s, with a touch of dark cinema and sparkles of modernity. Not recommended for fans of superhero movies

El Complot Mongol may not be a great film, but it's certainly entertaining.

It's funny, it's works well as a caricature of spy films and of corrupt politics, it's acid and noir and melancholic, all at the same time. And it certainly catches the farcical spirit of Bernal's novel.

The direction could have had better rythm, and has an tiring excess of close-ups and shot/countershots.

The acting was generally good, but three of the performances were a pleasant surprise: Sosa as the drunk lawyer; Owen as the deranged Gringa and Arizmendi, as the Russian spy.

A conclusion?: Damn Outer Mongolia!

Greatly detailed. Not what you might expect. Fun to watch and greatly acted.
