NOTE (of 5): ****
"Hope is the last thing you lose"
We're all tired of hearing that Spain is not good cinema. Daniel Monzón, however, has decided to delight us with one of those English films that break the above statement.
John Oliver, our protagonist, a prison officer, decides to go to work the day before their to catch up, leaving his home to his pregnant wife. Unfortunately, a few minutes to go, we develop a mutiny in the area where they reside most dangerous prisoners, and John, who had fainted in an empty cell after suffering a blow to the head, is abandoned there by their mates, which they had had to flee from prison. This simple introduction
has earned the director to create a compelling story about how John is pretending to be a prisoner more to survive, while he must suffer for not being able to talk to his wife, what he wants most in the world. I do not want desvelaros
the end, but I must say that the protagonists will be cunning, deception and that John will have to cope with painful situations.
The film has humor, intrigue and drama. Director of photography, Carles Gusi ("Torrente, the Dumb Arm of the Law," among others) has done a eSCelente with light and shadows and has managed to convey at all times the necessary heat and cold. On the other hand, actors are not well known, which has brought an original image, and a poster diferete who used to seeing lately. Both Alberto Ammann (John) and Marta Etrura (Elena), Luis Tosar (Malamadre) and the rest of the cast have done a eSCelente in this film.
Congratulations, Daniel Monzón.
