Movie Info

The principal players behind the Chilean martial arts hit Kiltro reunite for this action-packed tale of a young orphan who grows up to be a vigilante crime fighter. Maco (Marko Zaror) was just a young boy when his family became the victims of a violent home invasion that resulted in the death of his parents and rendered his younger brother nearly catatonic. Years later, Maco pays regular visits to his brother in a nearby mental institution, and pays his bills by working as a bouncer in a seedy

It's to be admired for its ballsy nature in making a movie that is every geek's fantasy. However, it's really nothing more than a martial arts flick with a guy in spandex.

...a cinematic indie comic that critiques the tropes of its bigger-budget antecedents.

He had no superpowers, just his fists and guts.

Mirageman is Ernesto Díaz Espinoza's sophomore film, in which he writes and directs. Considering the fact that his debut film, Kiltro, and this one star Marko Zaror, it is only fitting that they are about equal.This film plays out like a superhero film. Not the typical CG Hollywood films like The Incredible Hulk or Ironman. This is like a normal guy putting on a cheap costume and fighting crime by kicking butt. When I say kicking butt, I mean kicking butt martial arts style. He doesn't use guns. There really isn't much to the story and it is a little slow at times, but it is quite funny. You actually get to see the lead character of Maco start from scratch by creating a costume as well as make a name for himself.Unlike Kiltro, where the action is all at the end, the action is spread out through the entire 90 minute picture. If you know who Marko Zaror is, then you don't need to ask if the martial arts is good. It is. The only problem, once again, is that the film leaves you wanting more. I don't know if they plan it that way, so you go see his next movie, but if they do, it is pretty clever.Marko has proven to me that he has the ability to act. He falls a little flat in here and it is the story and his character that can take the blame for it. María Elena Swett is the second major character and she is dazzling. Seriously, you can't stop looking at her when she is on the screen.Mirageman will seem like a low budget movie, but that doesn't mean it sucks. This is an entertaining watch if you like martial arts action.
