This film has poignant moments, is not a simple movie superheroes, has a great storyline. The director showed great potential and hopefully made ​​a sequel, the hero has a great charisma and great potential for a sequel. The Chilean film is to be congratulated, highly recommend it! Marko Zarkor showed an excellent performance in this movie, so much so that later worked with Robert Rodriguez in "Machete Kills". The film also contains fight scenes that simulate the old films of Bruce-Lee, for a low budget production, is to be congratulated It also has a scene of romance that includes the music of David Bowie- "Life on Mars" - chosen at a specific time, which produces a perfect scene. Regardless, shows little scenes shaped HQ that translates the perfect feeling of the film: the instinct of superhero. Other than that, we also have a helper funny,also have a funny helper showing a moment of comedy to the film , summarizing the movie in one word : Exceptional

When you hear "superhero movie," its almost a given you think larger than life characters with over the top action scenes and heavy special effects. Sadly what I imagine will be lost on many potential viewers is that Mirageman is supposed to be what would happen if someone in the real world decided to become a superhero.Sure, there have been famous superheroes before whose only "power" has been knowing karate, but Mirageman does a great job setting up the realistic consequences of someone putting on a mask to fight crime. His martial arts are impressive but they're very real, with no camera tricks or special effects to make them look cooler. He doesn't have a police scanner or anything, so he has to rely on people emailing him their problems to find out where to be (which some people abuse, naturally).Mirageman is no god among men either; he gets surprised, beaten within an inch of his life and wonders what the hell made him think he could do this after a disastrous setback. But in the end, he realizes in a cynical world like ours one ordinary person can make a difference if they've got the courage to try.Mirageman isn't your average blockbuster superhero movie, but if you're willing to accept it for it differences, you won't be disappointed.

OK Where do I begin , let's see. First of all the movies plot is excellent, where a normal and simple Club Bouncer transforms himself to be Chileans first Super hero but the man has nothing super about him, all he has is balls and a good martial arts background , but it just doesn't cut it. The movie had all the good ingredients to be an alright flick but needed more of every thing from action to good acting, as well as a bit more of creativity , where as we see many repeated stories from other super hero movies, Example the journalist that the hero falls for(Superman) , the making of the Super Heroe Costume (Spiderman) the looking down from a high rise building etc.... WE also see a super hero that gets his butt kicked and suffers from depression, honestly cant have that. All in all the movie needed a couple of key ingredients to pass the test, I honestly hope that there will never be a MIRAGEMAN 2 because it doesn't deserve a second part and well this being Marko Zaror's second movie as a starring role he clearly needs acting classes or just stick to being a stunt man.

Excellent film, very good storyline and awesome action sequences. All the fights in this movie are in real time (no slow-motion then speed-up technique) and are done by the main actor Marko Zaror (Maco). All this makes it very realistic, honest and really fun to watch. I'm glad that this kind of films are made in Chile. I think the movie is great, it keeps you entertained all the time with vivacious action and a solid plot. I'm from Chile and I happen to know Marko from school (I was friends with his brother) and he always was influenced by the martial arts so I'm happy that he is doing what he most likes. I highly recommend this movie, you are in for a great treat!!
