Stellar Trailer For Action Comedy COMPADRES Delivers The Good, The Bad, And The Gringo

Director Enrique Begne tweaks up the tried and true buddy cop / odd couple formula for his upcoming action comedy Compadres and judging by the just released trailer he's done such a good job of it that he could have a tidy little sleeper hit on his hands here.

Omar Chaparro is Garza, a Mexican cop forced to team up with a teenaged American hacker to bring down the criminals who killed his wife. Cue the gringo jokes and border humor, yes, and while that stuff has all been done loads of times before Begne does it here with verve and style and such a likeable cast that it all feels remarkably fresh.

Backed in part by Pantelion - meaning there's at least a limited US release coming in April - there are a few familiar faces here in the form of Eric Roberts and Kevin Pollak but it's the Mexican cast that really steals this trailer. Check it out below.
