Erick Estrada Cinegarage We should have seen a case that develops precisely with intelligence to solve the problem between government collaborators and drug trafficking in the story, and that detail is left unresolved, left open, and it feels malicious...[Full review in Spanish] Mar 7, 2025 Full Review JK Sooja Common Sense Media This is a very straightforward action movie with a lot of gun violence and fighting. Mar 4, 2025 Full Review Pramit Chatterjee Digital Mafia Talkies Chava Cartas has directed the hell out of Counterstrike. In a runtime of 85 minutes, he and his team have packed in so many creative moments that it puts every other bloated action “epic” to shame. Rated: 4/5 Mar 1, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Carlos Taiti Y Filme: Contra Ataque Assistido: 2/7/25 Elenco: @luiggibert @luiscurieal @ishbelbautista @mayrabatalla @davidcalderonleon @noehernandez7519 @soyguillector @leonardoalonsoactor @isra_el_ista @fridajiser @pedrojoaquimfc Modelo: #mafiosos #ação Duração: 1h 24m Ano: 2025 Minha opinião: Um filme que assisti sem muita expectativa, mas gostei. Um grupo de elite do exército mexicano acaba tendo embate com o rei da narcotrafico. E a vingança corre no seu sangue, depois que Armando (alberti) elimina o irmão Josefo (Noé). E começa uma caçada a Armando e sua equipe. Boas cenas de ação e tiros, em certos momentos forçado. E no meio desta guerra, temos Lucia e Carla, mãe e filha que foram raptadas pelo cartel. E nesse embate Armando e sua equipe eliminam todos mas Armando também perde soldados, mas ele sobrevive com as mulheres e alguns companheiros. Vale apena assistir? sim Nota:6 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/03/25 Full Review Ralph M I am a retired Trauma Physician Assistant with over 25 years of experience and a surgical residency graduate from MLK Hospital in LA County, completed in the late 1990s. Currently, I teach trauma first aid and Stop the Bleed courses in Washington State. I watched Counterstrike on Netflix, and I was impressed by the realistic depiction of wound packing around the 1:21 mark. The plot is engaging, and the cinematography and audio are spot on. However, I found it frustrating that Netflix has a download restriction, as I would love to use this footage for educational purposes in my courses. Overall, I appreciate the effort to present such realistic scenarios, but the access limitations are disappointing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/14/25 Full Review Craig W Basic plot with a fairly predictable storyline but well acted as a Mexican army special forces unit is being chased by a crime boss. It loses rating points due to mediocre dubbing into English as not all of the voice-over actor’s dialects match their characters. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/12/25 Full Review Stefano T A good action film, which has been suggested me by a Mexican friend. It's kind of scary when you consider that similar things actually really happen (I'm talking about the power of drug cartels). I've found a few scenes too unrealistic (like the squad chief wanting a fist-fight with the bad guy at the end) but overall good enough. I especially liked Mayra Batalla's play. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/21/25 Full Review SkyRo P "Counterstrike ," a foreign film released in 2025, tells a true story set against the backdrop of the Mexican border during wartime. The film had all the makings of a compelling narrative, with impressive scenery and solid direction that suggested it was poised for greatness. However, the film struggled with its release in the United States, where it was presented in a dubbed version. Watching it in its original language would have likely enhanced the experience, as the dubbing often felt silly and exaggerated, injecting unintended humor into serious moments. The dialogue didn't align well with the actors' performances, which detracted from the overall impact of the film. While dubbing can sometimes enhance a viewing experience, in this case, it seemed to undermine the story. The confusion it created made it difficult for me to connect with the characters or grasp their motivations, leaving me uncertain about the narrative's direction. If you decide to watch "Counterattack," I recommend seeking out a version that retains the original language for a more authentic experience. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/07/25 Full Review Guillermo P Must watch mexican movie, greath characters, freat action for a well achieved entertaining movie.
