Boogie (2009)

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD, So much crimes and they are so cool, this is an Argentinian movie, it is really great, is a perfect comedy with a lot of black humor. It is an animation movie with bizarre crimes and so much blood, Boggie is a hired murderer, he is hired to make all type of crimes and he uses all types of methods to achieve what he wants. For the ones who always look for famous actors i will say that you won't find anyone in this movie except you are Argentine. The movie is based on one of the comics that made Roberto "El Negro" Fontanarrosa (Argentinian writer, for me one of the best writing comics, the comic is also named "Boggie, El Aceitoso", i give it a 7 but it can also be an 8, I hope you like it, greetings. maxi0305

Mario Moreno co-wrote this movie in 2007 , that was released in South America in 2009 without giving him any writing credit or payment. It is about to make its way to the US. Mario's lawyer contacted the US- based distributor, and the production company in Argentina, but neither took any action to resolve the issue. The film screened in LA this week, and may be coming to a theater near you soon.

I never thought a movie about Boogie could be this good. It's so faithful to the comics, it even includes a couple of jokes from them - the best ones I ever read, actually. The drawing style is exactly as I'd have thought Boogie should look like in a movie - Boogie's voice is dry, sarcastic and funny. I'd think as a whole, it's a bit more violent than the comics ever were; nevertheless the whole package is perfectly executed.It's a terrific tribute to Fontanarrosa's work. Highly recommended (if you ever liked Boogie in the first place - I suppose it's too violent for most people).

This is not a movie for anyone. It is mainly targeted to an audience that has read at least some of the thousands comics of "Boggie el aceitoso," Spanish for 'Oily Boogie.' Created by the late Argentine cartoonist Roberto Fontanarrosa, Boogie parodies the American stereotype of the macho, tough guy American hero.Faithful to the aforementioned comics, which started being published in South America in 1974 and ended in 1995, Boogie is presented as a anti-hero who lives as a callous and merciless hit man in what appears to be New York City. Oily Boogie is thus a gun-for-hire and he couldn't care less about the target as long as the money being offered is good enough.In this low budget yet highly original movie, Oily Boogie is the ultimate sociopath: a rude, uncouth, chauvinistic, misogynistic, warmongering alpha male. The script is very well done and it greatly helps to enhance all these negatives tendencies in Oily Boogie.Jingoistic people should abstain to see this movie because, undoubtedly, they will find it offensive and grossly anti-American. Indeed, cartoonist Fontanarrosa was highly critical of the many wars the United States was involved in ---Vietnam in particular. Oily Boogie is an extreme version of the "Ugly American" seen by the eyes of anti-war cartoonist from Rosario, Argentina.The movie is fast-paced, funny and somewhat unpredictable. Its violence is so extreme is laughable, and the main character, Oily Boogie, is so cynical it can make the audience laugh or just leave the theater...
