Bloody, gloomy, gritty, inventive, and so unpredictable, I fell in love with this thriller from Spain at first sight, a thriller that scared me with the main lead's wife, pregnant spouse, whose presence may announce the worst, as in a Liam Neeson's garbage crap, with clichés galore and an ending which you can smell one hundred miles in advance. But here, no, no, no, no clichés, nothing foreseeable and a so unusual topic, using the revenge scheme, and the drug cartels. Directing, acting and an over the top editing make this film an authentic gem, a masterpiece, but of course there will be batches of sissies who won't like the end. I suggest they get back to Liam Neeson, the poor man's Kevin Costner, whom I can not bear at all. Too smooth actor for too smooth movies.
