646f9e108c A former guerrilla is reluctantly drawn into the vengeance scheme of one of his victims. This movie is to the fullest degree the best Colombian movie I've ever watched. It undeniably has a truly exciting plot. The director (Juan Felipe Orozco) ensures the audience maintains mental and emotional strains the entire film. From minute one the film engage spectators into an endless drama into the mind and circumstances of a former guerrilla member enrolled in voluntary demilitarisation programme. This movie offers an important critic to the Colombian government policy "Justice and Peace" that aims to compensate victims of guerrillas' attacks for life lost and damages. It portrays the political implications of psychological tensions of those who have been affected by the armed conflict in Colombia. Although, it is a movie about the extent of the consequences of a violent reality in the South American country, it is presenteda genius thriller on the psychological damages and the limitless extent of revenge. The acting of all the main characters is genuinely remarkable, it is specially astonishing the acting of Colombian actress Carolina Gomez. The unfortunate part of Greetings To The Devil is that the entire film I kept thinking what a great remake this would make with like Jason Statham, or Bruce Willis, and a talented action thriller director…insert name here…because honestly the creation of this Colombian film is just a mess. The character development is decent and you already feel plenty of compassion for our main character, Angel, when the action kicks into high gear…or rather low gear. The story gets convoluted and does not go into the direction of a former guerrilla looking for vengeance or redemption but just a guy doing a job and you're watching him do it. I wanted more fast paced action, I wanted a smarter outcome, and I wanted more hands down action driven violence but you get very little of thatthey try to turn a potentially great action movie into a story about morality. Skip this one. It will only serve to disappoint.
