La Mula was set to commence shooting exactly the same time over two years ago, but I imagine the budget for the film is perhaps not epic scale Alejandro Amenábar's Agora had their initial investors fighting to get this movie made. Filming in a foreign language is not foreign to Radford, he directed the Italian language money maker Il Postino and he is set to be shooting in Spanish language for La Mula, which is based on the screenplay and book by Juan Eslava Galan. »

Light on scares or gore "Shuttle," utilizes a character reveal at midpoint to add a twist where one is usually found in the ending and an intensity chills throughout. Not bowing to conventional story development Anderson finds his stride in this 106 minute tightly written thriller.
