Torrente, the Dumb Arm of the Law

  • Log in or register to post comments

In a Madrid filled with corruption and peculiar characters, an unconventional police officer becomes the protagonist of an outrageous action comedy. Our anti-hero, a clumsy yet well-meaning detective, faces off against his arch-nemesis, a dangerous criminal with sinister plans that threaten the city's safety. Armed with his ineptitude and an arsenal of action movie clichés, this cop is hardly a role model, and his private life is an absolute mess.

As he tries to solve the case, he also gets embroiled in ridiculous and absurd situations that highlight his incompetence, such as chasing leads that take him to strip clubs and engaging in impromptu fights in cafés. With the help of a group of equally inept colleagues, he embarks on a race against time, where toilet humor and social commentary intertwine at every turn.

Amid unexpected twists and a plethora of extravagant settings, the main character becomes an icon of Spanish cinema, demonstrating that, despite being an absolute disaster, loyalty and friendship always shine in the darkest moments. Amidst bullets and laughter, the message is clear: no matter how clumsy you are, you can always find a way to do good—even if it’s by accident!
