[Sky High] hardly breathes the sweat and perfume that current movies are looking to pay tribute to. However, it is worth noting that the film is entertaining. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Some okay performances and individual scenes help to earn Sky High some goodwill, but it's very difficult to recommend beyond that. Go to Full Review

Roberto T Mar 26 I've seen people complain that this is too much like Fast and the Furious, but there are two things this has that those movies did not: Carolina Yuste, and a soul. See more Marco L @decatur555 Dec 12 Esta película se presenta como un thriller de acción con aspiraciones de recuperar la esencia del cine quinqui, pero se queda a medio camino entre el estilo visual y la narrativa. Visualmente, parece más un videoclip que una película; las escenas se suceden con rapidez, pero carecen de la profundidad necesaria para sostener el interés emocional del espectador. Además, la música resulta repetitiva y poco inspirada, sin aportar valor al conjunto, y más bien distrae de lo que debería ser el núcleo de la historia. El guion no consigue convencer del todo. La trama, aunque tiene ciertos momentos de tensión, se siente poco creíble y demasiado dependiente de clichés. Los personajes no están lo suficientemente desarrollados como para generar empatía o conectar con sus motivaciones, dejando que la historia avance de forma superficial. Aunque se perciben destellos de ambición en algunos aspectos, como la dirección de las escenas de acción y los intentos de incorporar crítica social, el resultado final no termina de funcionar. La película se queda atrapada entre querer ser un entretenimiento contundente y ofrecer un mensaje más profundo, pero no logra destacar en ninguno de los dos aspectos. See more Carlos T 03/28/2023 Minha opinião: Um filme ao estilo espanhol. Onde temos um jovem que sonha em estar em lugares altos, mesmo que isso pudesse custar sua vida ou a prisão. Assim é Angel que é do subúrbio tem sua namorada Estrella e se envolve com a gang local, até conhecer o chefão Rogério e sua filha Sole. E vê nela a oportunidade de conseguir a ascensão mais rápido casando com ela, mas continuando com a Estrella. E assim se segue o filme com roubos, corridas, tiros. Até ele conseguir a ascensão e mudar de vida. Mas sua ambição ainda era grande e arma novas artimanhas. Porém chega uma hora que estão armando para eles. E o final é dramático, não vou falar para não dar expoiler. Neste ano de 2023 foi lançado uma série dando continuidade ao filme. Em resumo o filme foi razoável. Com atuações boas dos atores. Roteiro e enredo poderiam ter trabalho mais. Com mais profundidade em partes do filme. Vale apena assistir? Sim Nota: 7 See more Manuel T 09/11/2022 You can see since the very beginning how the movie will end, nevertheless it's quite fun to watch.
