I've watched Spanish films and series that are well produced, directed and acted. Unfortunately, this was not one of them. The plot of the film is worn and nothing new was brought to the structure and plot used. Sometimes very small things can be enough, such as interesting characters, an eccentric soundscape or set design. There was really nothing to grab hold of in this film, as the film was rather hollow in terms of content. This was not helped by the very mediocre performances of the actors. None of the characters were interesting and the dialogue even felt comical at times. The whole film was rather quickly and unbelievably rushed through. The last and only twist in the film was an unfortunate attempt to add some edge to the film. There was also unnecassary graphic violence that added nothing to the plot.
