This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Don't Believe the Hype

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

First, I am surprised that no one has commented it yet. I think that's a sort of HEAT from Spain, or at least a film very under the Michael Mann's masterpiece influence. Not the same story nor the same scheme, but the same characters drawing and symphony, same photography and scenery, and I would say the same production design. Movie about friendship among real men, in the old fashion way, a story of professional armed robbers who, disguised as elite police force, attack heavy, important drug shipments with the help, the information, from a rotten policeman...The leader of this bunch is a gangster whose childhood friend is just discharged from jail and the other friend a cop on his tail. Those three characters were all friends two decades earlier, and you can guess the following. The police supervisor is also the mob informer; and the cop, friend with the two others, suspects him to deal with gangsters. So, the supervisor asks the gang leader to get rid of his cop friend. You have a love segment that has nothing to do in that film. But it doesn't spoil it, and that's the most important. A director to follow...
