The first fictional series starring Schwarzenegger is both a celebration and a gentle parody of a career devoted primarily, if not exclusively, to the art of action. More specifically, we are a A kind of revival of the “friendship films” of the eighties and nineties that bring together powerful Austrians with unexpected comrades: ‘Red heat’, ‘The twins hit twice’, ‘The last great hero’ or the best and most famous, ‘Risky lies’, “FUBAR” is a remake starring a father and daughter instead of an emotional couple. It remains to be seen whether the Cameron classic in question, which was canceled after just one season, will fare any better than the actual series remake.
The title, taken from military jargon, is an acronym for “too bad to be recognized” (or, to better translate, “heavily damaged”), and is probably a joke at the expense of the main character and the actor who plays him. . , despite Schwarzie is in good shape despite being 75 years old.. In the series, they shorten the decade, perhaps because of their plot needs. CIA agent Luke Brunner hasn’t retired yet, but he’s already on the verge of freedom that will allow him to fulfill his most ambitious mission: saving his ex-wife Sally (Fabiana Udenio) to take him around the world in his new boat, which is not a boat, as people have insisted on him.
Unfortunately for Brunner, After the last mission comes another, the rescue of an active spy in the Guyana paramilitary society whose former leader beheaded twenty-five years ago.. Boro Poland now at the controls (gabriel moon), the megalomaniac son of the fallen leader, who will soon be made aware of the mole’s existence. Only Brunner, who has tried to sponsor and rescue Boro in the past, can save the spy and, meanwhile, prevent the sale of a portable weapon of mass destruction to the highest bidder (or worst, depending on how you look at it).
Although it may seem like a piece of cake, the person who needs to be rescued is his own daughter, Emma, as he only realizes when he arrives.Monica Barbaro, ‘Top Gun: Maverick) isn’t as dignified or sweet as he might think. In turn, Emma is not amused when she finds out that her father is deceiving her family by posing as a gym equipment salesman. The ‘friend movie’ (or series for that matter) is presented. “Boomer” and “millennial”. Father and daughter hit twice. Opposites are condemned to accept each other and even admit that they are like two peas in a shell deep down.
Nick Santora (creator of the tech thriller ‘Scorpion’) seems to be looking for a fun cocktail of action, humor and a few doses of compassion, without taking anything too seriously (although the number of casualties is as significant as irrelevant). to overcome similar twilight adventures. . But making something easy to see is no easy task. ‘FUBAR’ flounders, first of all, in the comics department, where his teammates insist on his supposed grace (Milan Carter, Travis Van Winkle And fortune feimster) subscribed to desperate puns, double meanings, and most of all, popular culture references that could be said to have been suggested by artificial intelligence, which could be said to be utterly fraudulent. A cute funk bass line signals when to laugh, but it’s hard to play together.
“FUBAR” works better as it focuses on the specific duel between Schwarzenegger and Barbaro, one and the other arguably charismatic and with lots of chemistry between them. This historian had his heartiest laugh as Emma impersonated Luke through a Muppet-level plush doll. As a father who can’t accept his daughter’s sexuality, Schwarzie may not outshine Tony Danza in ‘Crazy Daddy’, but the looks he’s thrown at his future son-in-law Carter (Jay Baruchel), from the funny Terminator. Brief flashes in a grayish panorama.
