Given all the downright poor blockbusters that we have been flooded with lately, it is refreshing to see a film that manages to deliver all the intrigue, excitement and quality without relying one bit on CGI! This film is like a classic film noir for modern times. Well directed, great acting, superb quality set design and the cinematography and scripts are par excellence! Be aware that this is a Spanish film with Spanish dialogue, but it has English Subtitles, which do not detract from the film at all. Without giving too much away, this is a play on the classic love triangle and kidnap theme, but with a very interesting twist that keeps you guessing. There are lots of twists and turns and the ending is just so emotional, it made me cry! Some may see this as more of a European Art House style film, but I found it very refreshing and would say that it is one of the best films that I have seen in the past year. Don't let the subtitles put you off, if you enjoy intelligent, well crafted cinema, then this is one for you. Not a family film due to it's subject matter, but suitable for teenagers and anyone with an open mind. Anyone with extreme religious tendencies may be shocked by the subject matter, but all the more reason to watch as this is real life. Bravo!!
