Uno (philippines)
Uno is a slightly oddball comedic action movie about a rivalry in between two hitmen for hire who the police appear to think are exactly the same person, referred to as Uno – or Quantity One.
Their assignments seem to throw them together in ways that don’t really make sense — but who cares about that. There’s a tough crime lord having a big quantity of hired gunslingers so it is not clear why he’s so willing to pay an outsider to complete his killing for him, but let’s not get technical.
I when knew a man who, a mutual friend told me, was paid by a nearby politician to murder folks. He seemed like a good guy, along with a quite ordinary one.
The background of these two males and how they got to their existing positions is not explained. They are proficient at shooting guns, but I suspect that if they went against the very trained assassins of American crime fiction they wouldn’t stand a opportunity.
One of the hired guns backs out from an assignment when the target’s little girl jumps into his arms, and also waves in the killer although he’s holding a gun hidden by a newspaper.
The assassin thinks about his own little girl, and can’t pull the trigger. I just type of thought that trying to kill a man in a public park was poor preparing anyway. How did he believe he would get away? And even so, to shoot the man even though he was holding the child would have been poor efficiency. Abort mission, and try to get him in a back alley.
But the actual Uno is a weirdo comic relief man who functions for the gang lord. He wants to become a tough guy, but keeps a blow up doll in his small space. He dresses her, puts a wig on her head and talks to her as although she’s a actual woman he’s in love with. Some combination of acute psychological insight and comedy.
The two assassins have a series of clashes. 1 even assists the other save his daughter, but they remain rivals — even even though helping every other trash some ordinary thugs causing trouble for their girlfriends inside a restaurant.
And why did they wind up dancing on the same dance floor?
Again, do not search for significantly rational consistency.
The final scene exactly where the gang lord kidnaps the daughter and takes on both assassins is full of a great deal of fairly very good action. The weirdo protects the girl, then takes the rap for both assassins, so he may be the genuine “Uno.” Or a minimum of play at it for the benefit of the police.
Not genuinely a satisfying or insightful action film, but not poor either.
