El Tigre

About This Movie

So, El Tigre is this quirky comedy that plays on mistaken identity and the absurdity of cartel culture. Jeff, our protagonist, somehow looks just like this notorious leader El Tigre, which leads to a series of wild misadventures in Mexico. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it gives it a certain charm—like the characters are stumbling through their own comedy. There’s a fun blend of practical effects and some clever writing that keeps things lively. The performances are surprisingly engaging, especially the way Jeff navigates the chaos of his new pretend life. It's not groundbreaking, but it has a certain offbeat vibe that can be pretty enjoyable if you're in the right mood.

El Tigre has a somewhat obscure status, making it a curiosity among collectors. The film was released in limited formats, and the lack of a well-known director adds to its mystique. Finding a clean copy might take some digging, as it hasn’t seen a major re-release. Collectors appreciate its unique blend of comedy and action, along with the charmingly awkward performances that give it a certain cult appeal.
