If the Cormac McCarthy rip-off wasn’t enough, Ernesto Díaz Espinoza’s ponderous thriller also gives El Corvo a couple of scenes lifted from The Terminator, and the villain from Enter the Dragon’s blade-hand for good measure.

A passable, forgettable genre picture that perks to life whenever El Corvo and Kris go mano-a-mano.

No offense to Mission: Impossible or Ballerina or whatever other bajillion-dollar project Hollywood wants to pump out, but Diablo has already claimed the title of action film of the year. This is the pure, uncut stuff.

It’s plotted in a seemingly straightforward way for the sake of eventually featuring blowouts between Adkins and Zaror. However, director Ernesto Diaz Espinoza somehow manages to develop a somewhat emotional story

Diablo (2025) is what you want your actioner to be. It’s loud, it doesn’t take itself too seriously, and its hero and villain work perfectly off each other.

Diablo is a film that sounds far more intriguing than it actually is. With a title that suggests something dark, dangerous, and intense, the movie instead delivers a surprisingly flat and unfocused experience. It never fully commits to the themes you expect, leaving the story feeling confused about its own identity and direction. The screenplay struggles badly with structure, jumping back and forth without creating meaningful tension or emotional investment. Nothing feels properly connected, and the narrative never guides the audience in a satisfying way. The direction doesn’t help elevate the material, as the film feels unsure of what it wants to be from scene to scene. Rather than feeling mysterious or bold, it comes across as bland and underdeveloped, missing every chance to build atmosphere or stakes. By the end, the film feels hollow and forgettable, leaving behind more frustration than impact, and offering little reason for a revisit.

He kidnaps the daughter of a powerful crime boss and stops in a diner to eat fries and sits there talking, reminiscing and catching up. She couldn't eat the fries in the car I guess. Good action though.

Hoy crickey what a killer action movie. Ignore all the dumb low marks others give this - it's a monster of a genre flick. It makes big Hollywood action movies look like Mary Poppins. This is brutal, high powered violence and fighting. Seriously big boy stuff here - super well made and worth your time if you like hardcore action fighting and blody goodness.

More cons to say than pros. Who to blame for the 1.30 time wasted. Script perhaps by a discarded AI platform ?

Lots of fun; great action, well made, well acted all around, but have to say that the young actress who plays Elisa frickin' steals the movie!
