The story kicks off when an ex-convict Roberto (Omar Chaparro) comes to the United States and crosses paths with an American Marshal, Mike (Diego Boneta). Together, they embark on a wild and dangerous journey to capture a powerful drug lord.

Reviews
"Compadres" received mixed to negative reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 4.8/10, reflecting lukewarm audience reception. Rotten Tomatoes lists it at 40%, indicating less than favorable critic support, with many pointing to an imbalance in tone and underdeveloped character arcs. Metacritic's score of 28/100 confirms the generally poor critical consensus. Critics often noted that while Omar Chaparro's performance brought energy and comedic timing, the film struggled with a clichéd script and predictable plot. Some reviews mentioned that the chemistry between leads was a saving grace but not enough to elevate the movie beyond a standard action-comedy. The action sequences received moderate praise for their excitement but were somewhat undermined by inconsistent pacing. Overall, "Compadres" was seen as an ambitious attempt at blending comedy and action, but its execution fell short of expectations.
