70 Binladens

A contained thriller that stands out for its ability to sustain tension in a confined space, relying on a solid script and a cast led by two actresses whose remarkable performances elevate the film. The story skillfully develops its characters with just a few strokes, avoiding clichés, and delivers a narrative pace that rarely falters, though some plot twists might feel predictable at times. Its modest ambition works in its favor, granting it freshness and lightness, although this lack of deeper aspirations may leave viewers craving more substance. An engaging and effective piece, particularly appealing to those who enjoy stories set in claustrophobic settings.

I went in to watch this with absolutely no information, and I liked it.

most of it takes place inside, or just outside, the Bank. a woman is desperate to get an immediate loan, and not even a robbery will stop her.

it's not your average rehash of bank heist tropes. the robbers are damaged people who behave supremely idiotically. the police are "soft" compared to what one has come to expect from other similar movies. a wordplay is being used as a major plot device (it helps if you speak spanish, but it's not necessary). there's a minor twist halfway through that I honestly did not see coming.

this is not a movie that will change your life, but if you're tired of movies where you can guess the plot twists and the ending 20 minutes in, you'll enjoy it.

Spanish cinema delivering great works, a police thriller film, but with just the right amount of spice, ironic humor, evil but clumsy criminals, a hostage with personal problems on the side, the hidden codes thing is super exaggerated (in the untimely translation of the film's title). The original would make much more sense, since it is explained at the beginning of the film (70 notes are so rare that no one has seen them like Osama), what an ending, very good, favorable plot twist...

Raquel is a desperate woman who needs 35,000 euros (or seventy-five hundred notes, known on the street as binladens). She is about to get what she needs through a bank loan when two thieves interrupt the transaction, putting her in an impossible situation. Is she the thief or the victim? All she knows is that she needs this money, no matter the price.

70 Bin Ladens refer to 70 five hundred Euros bills (the reason is everybody talk about it but nobody seems to find them). Spanish joke. This is basically a heist movie; with lots of twists and a very unexpected ending. The problem is that after three quarters of the movie, the writer did a lot of lazy and not quite believable choices that harms the very tense and spectacularly performed story. If you are looking for very interesting performances and a cerebral movie; this one is for you. Do not let the last 5 or 10 minutes become a disappointment when all other aspects of the movie are almost perfect

This movie has a lot of plot twists that work very well.

The story is full of mystery and unexpected plot twists that work very well by not contradicting each other, it manages to be entertaining apart from being well developed and completely deceives the public. It talks about how easy it is to fool people and how greed for money corrupts us. The character development is decent, the acting is good, and the story is original. I think that one of its weakest points is the ending since there is not a specific closure of all the characters, just as the last plot twist makes some things confused.

It's a worthwhile movie because of its original story and effective plot twists, plus it manages to grab the audience's full attention.
