El hombre de las mil caras

Not sure why this film hasn't gotten much attention so far, it's extremely well made with a super interesting (true) story and good acting. Never aiming to go too deep on the emotional side, it's just a very good narrative told in a sleek, stylish and exciting way with some stunning European location shots and the odd sprinkle of some good, dry Spanish wit. Eduard Fernandez in particular gives a great understated performance as the lead, and the instrumental surf-rock score adds a very unique stylistic touch.

All in all a very pleasant watch and would even make a great entry point into Spanish cinema for those less keen on heavy dramas or art films.

It takes a while to understand all the players and what's what. But after that it really gets going. Refreshing movie.. go watch it.

It was the best in the story and surprise at the end.

That means - it demands some patience from you. A patient viewer is up for treat though. Characters are interesting and nuanced, and, more importantly, believable. None are just good or bad, but complex personalities. Just like in real life. Even small parts are exquisitely meaty and therefore make an impression. The story (being based on a true one) is interesting and also grounded in reality. No big shootouts or car chases. The acting and directing is on point. Very good, believable ending. Well done! 10/10

There's a really good story here but sadly it's been badly told in this movie . Maybe 2hrs just wasn't enough time ...a TV series might have worked better and been less confusing to the viewer .

The director here has crammed too much information into the plot which bounces all over the place . There was nothing to grab this viewers attention . A shame really as it was a wasted opportunity.
