SPECIAL FORCES (**)

(2014) Listed as 3rd World Cops on Netflix, this comedy from Chile stars two of that country's best-known TV comedy stars, here playing a couple of bumbling cops who make every wrong turn possible when trying to both solve crime and get ahead in law enforcement.  Corporal Salinas (Rodrigo Salinas), who accidentally got his partner killed years ago, is now living with his dead partner's mother, treating her like his own mom while clueless to the fact that she most obviously has the hots for him.  When the chubby Corporal Freire (Sergio Freire) comes aboard as his equally inept new partner, the two find themselves competing with the federal police crime to become super cops themselves.  The film has some cute moments but the lead characters are so incredibly clueless, their actions often come off much more annoying than endearing.  Or even funny.  (not rated)  

(Sorry, could not find a trailer either dubbed or subbed in English!)
