Already streaming: Adrián Suar returns to action with Checkmate

As a return, a return to his beginnings in action cinema, Adrián Suar returns to running, hitting, shooting and making jokes in Check matethe action comedy that is still in some theaters and has just been uploaded to streaming

The film can be seen on Prime Video.

Suar did not return alone: ​​he brought with him Jorge Nisco, who directed him Wild cardsin which he shared the bill with Carlos Andrés Calvo, back in 1997.

Now Suar is Duque, who was part of “an international brigade that solves crimes, fraud and attacks that endanger global security.” He retired after his brother’s death. We’ll know after the first sequence.

Duque lives alone, in the middle of nowhere, in the Tigre Delta, and has a security device that warns him if anyone is hiding in the area. So he “takes” his niece, from whom he had been estranged, who arrives without warning.

Well, others who arrive uninvited are the thugs who machine gun the house and who Duque will eliminate one by one, which is why the action heroes arrive like this because the bad guys don’t attack them all at once. It happens to Tom Cruise, it happens to Jason Statham, why shouldn’t it happen to Suar.

Overproduction

Since the production of Check mateshared between Patagonik and Amazon Studios, is considerable, and includes an international cast, since when the potatoes burn – the bad guys kidnap his niece -, Duque will turn first to Nancy and Mal cosido (due to a scar on his face), and then will reunite in Argentina with those who were her companions, including the Spanish Maggie Civantos, Macarena in the series In front of.

Everyone must infiltrate a maximum security laboratory in Mendoza and from there obtain a scientific formula, which is what the bad guys and the powerful want to save Duque’s niece.

The film is called for a reason. Check mate. This is what Duque and his niece portray, will it have anything else to do with the plot?

Mike Amigorena is the bad guy. He looks like he came out of an animated film from Illumination studios, the ones who created the Minions.

The comic scenes serve to decompress the action and many of them have Benjamín Amadeo (Mal cosido) as the main protagonist. The cast also includes José Eduardo Derbez (How poor, so rich) and Tsahi Halevi (Feud). In this solid entertainment proposal.
