- Who'll love it
- Made for people who like their stories with a little danger and people who enjoy a knot in their stomach. Plenty of moral grey areas to chew on.
- The mood
- Tense, dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 39 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.
The story of a naive young man, provincial and not very experienced, to whom the circumstances of destiny, when crossing with the beautiful Frida, lead him to mature with a single blow. Rodolfo helps Frida in a car accident while she orders him to deliver an envelope. There begins the desperate flight of this innocent man fighting for his life, persecuted by thugs -who want to recover the contents of the envelope- and by the police -who seeks him for being a suspect in the death of an important diplomat.
