Cien años de perdón

Sometimes things do not go according to plan. In movies more often then not. Now if you're about to commit a crime, then movies may be one of the venues where there is a chance of you succeeding. Then again, because it's all scripted, you don't actually achieved anything. Well anything else than entertain your audience right? Which is not an easy thing to do. But this movie also tries to go one more step and add an additional note to the mix.

Maybe that is not your thing and you want just a heist movie. But hopefully you'll enjoy it, even with its flaws. It's nicely acted and while not perfect, it does achieve to keep your suspense high enough until the end of the movie. The action scenes are good too

"Who steals from whom?" is the excellent question of that film, which is very good in its first half, before running out of steam.

I liked the first half. Acting, cinematography, tension...etc. Then, around the half point, the movie becomes filled with too many characters and dialogue, and totally lost the rhythm.

What a pity...

Just accidentally found this movie while aimlessly browsing the TV guide and decided to give it a chance. It seems this movie is the initial "Money Heist".

Bank robing - both Nicknames as countries - both There are more similarities but essentially "Money Heist" is better as it has more time to evolve the complex story and a lot of improvements have been made.

An armed robbery of a bank goes badly wrong on a rainy day in Valencia. The fallout ends up revealing high level political corruption.

This Spanish crime-thriller is one which twists its genre framework around the all too real Spanish economic recession, in which many people are still suffering. As such, it has a few political points to make while delivering a muscular crime story. It possibly is a little too dialogue heavy for its own good at times and consequently it does lose a bit of momentum as it goes forward but its overall a pretty solid bit of genre film-making with a conscience. It features an animated Rodrigo De la Serna (The Motorcycle Diaries (2004)) in the role of the lead thief, The Uruguayan.
