We should have seen a case that develops precisely with intelligence to solve the problem between government collaborators and drug trafficking in the story, and that detail is left unresolved, left open, and it feels malicious...[Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

This is a very straightforward action movie with a lot of gun violence and fighting. Go to Full Review

4/5
Chava Cartas has directed the hell out of Counterstrike. In a runtime of 85 minutes, he and his team have packed in so many creative moments that it puts every other bloated action “epic” to shame. Go to Full Review

Claudio C @Claudio666 4d Excellent Mexican Action Movie (12,277 - 14 Feb 2026) RT did not publish my review. If you want to read it, see my blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/2026/02/15/contraataque-counterstirke-2025-excellent-mexican-action-movie/ My vote is eight. Title (Brazil): "Contra-Ataque" ("Counterstrike") My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ See more Peter K @Vacadoug Oct 7 Maybe it was in the dubbing that the characters lacked more intensity in their personas; some sweeping panoramas of Mexico but coming-out pf the Vietnam era am not into war films -- and there was certainly enough graphic violence to go around. Will give it another look but in Spanish with subtitles.

Um grupo de elite do exército mexicano acaba tendo embate com o rei da narcotrafico. E a vingança corre no seu sangue, depois que Armando (alberti) elimina o irmão Josefo (Noé). E começa uma caçada a Armando e sua equipe. Boas cenas de ação e tiros, em certos momentos forçado. E no meio desta guerra, temos Lucia e Carla, mãe e filha que foram raptadas pelo cartel. E nesse embate Armando e sua equipe eliminam todos mas Armando também perde soldados, mas ele sobrevive com as mulheres e alguns companheiros. Vale apena assistir? sim Nota:6 See more Ralph M Jun 14 I am a retired Trauma Physician Assistant with over 25 years of experience and a surgical residency graduate from MLK Hospital in LA County, completed in the late 1990s. Currently, I teach trauma first aid and Stop the Bleed courses in Washington State. I watched Counterstrike on Netflix, and I was impressed by the realistic depiction of wound packing around the 1:21 mark. The plot is engaging, and the cinematography and audio are spot on. However, I found it frustrating that Netflix has a download restriction, as I would love to use this footage for educational purposes in my courses. Overall, I appreciate the effort to present such realistic scenarios, but the access limitations are disappointing. See more Craig W Jun 12 Basic plot with a fairly predictable storyline but well acted as a Mexican army special forces unit is being chased by a crime boss. It loses rating points due to mediocre dubbing into English as not all of the voice-over actor’s dialects match their characters. See more Stefano T @Giant_Lizard May 21 A good action film, which has been suggested me by a Mexican friend. It's kind of scary when you consider that similar things actually really happen (I'm talking about the power of drug cartels). I've found a few scenes too unrealistic (like the squad chief wanting a fist-fight with the bad guy at the end) but overall good enough. I especially liked Mayra Batalla's play.
