Eye for an eye

A very strong movie on Netflix. What is the price you would pay for revenge? To me, it seems pretty much accurate...

Nicely done dark, suspense filled Spanish revenge thriller. The writing is excellent, tension keeps building throughout to some effective twists at the climax. Luis Tosar is excellent as always. I enjoyed it, a couple of hours well spent.

I think most people would probably agree with me that, if this film was remade Hollywood style, the ending would be vastly different than this Spanish version. Generally, the acting was fine. No complaints about the cinematography, story and music, either. Pacing also wasn't that bad. What was missing? A satisfying conclusion, but your mileage may very.

Spanish people can really make great films! This sick twisting drama is so well done that you would not blink for a second. The performance of all actors are extremely well done and the story left a bitter/sweet taste on your mouth.

The editing, the Music, the script and of course the Direction ... i mean ... its hard to find a film that is so complete.

If you are looking for something else to watch but you don't know what... this is your movie... but be aware... it is nothing but crude.

The notorious kingpin Antonio Padín (Xan Cejudo) checks in a nursing home under the care of the nurse Mario (Luis Tosar), whose wife Julia (María Vázquez) is pregnant. When Padín's son Toño (Ismael Martínez) and Kiko (Enric Auquer) make a deal with the Colombian cartel without the agreement of their father, they are double crossed by the Chinese mafia and have to pay a large amount to the cartel. Meanwhile Mario plots revenge against Padín, since his younger brother was a victim of his drugs. When Padín learns Mario's intention, he also plots revenge against Mario.

"Quien a hierro mata", a.k.a. "Eye for an Eye", is a solid thriller directed by Paco Plaza. The story of revenge is very well disclosed and the conclusion is heartbreaking. The performances are magnificent but the film is not for everyone. My vote is seven.
