El correo

A quick and good depiction of the huge corruption that left us where we are today. All these shameless corrupt politicians and "business men/women" shall rot in hell.

Good acting and fun to watch reminding me the Ocean's eleven style.

I looked for an easy movie to watch on a Sunday evening and this completely made the deal.

I don't know why everybody gave this a six. Is it super critically acclaimed? No. Was it super fun to watch like fast and the furious 1? Yes it was.

A typical hero's journey from from a lower class family in Spain, finessing and hustling his way into higher society in europe, clubs, parties, girls, coconut, international travel, seducing beautiful women. A really fun movie to watch. Cinematography was wonderful. Aron did a pretty good job acting and I think he was very convincing as a spanish gangster motivated by getting as rich as possible. I did some research into Aron after turns out he does music too, I could totally see the connection.

A fun movie for the guys, or to watch with a chick. The movie was filmed quite well, paces well, and the supporting actors were fun to watch and convincing as well. I enjoyed it!

Lets start by saying that the plot seemed very standard and cliché to me, with little innovation. There is no doubt that men will like it more, but it is not my cup of tea.

It's a trip to the real corruption in Spain, just at the beginning of the euro currency, and still with the pesetas in mind. Sadly this type of corruption has not changed much and is still going strong in Spain, that's why the part I liked the most about the movie is the final one, with the real images of the corrupt that in the end WE all ended up paying for. That's why the story has a cynical humor.

Even if the character is fictional the story is very real, but I think the film tries to cover too much, and gets cliché and cheesy. Also predictable.

Not my cupper like I said.

Seeing this on Netflix, I was immediately attracted to it by the impression that Louis Zahera was the star. I've loved him in everything he's been in, but it's misleading to imply he stars in this as he's got very limited screen time.

That aside, it's a fun crime romp in similar vein to The Business or any Guy Ritchie film. Basically, crime doesn't pay but it's bloody good fun while it lasts!

Laura Sepúl is a beautiful blue-eyed slightly older woman who is 100% sexier than the younger bimbos that the main character hooks up with - she's really good.

More Luis was needed, and I'd have given this more stars if he was in it more, but he's woefully under-used in this and if I hadn't seen his face on the Netflix description of this film I'd probably not have bothered watching it.

Ok no more to say but still not enough characters? Maybe IMDB you need to reduce your limit as there's not always that much to say!

Daniel Calparsoro returns to what he does best: a fast-paced thriller, shot with energy and determination, that never stops to catch its breath. El correo hooks you with rhythm and staging, with chases and twists that keep the tension alive, even if the feeling of "I've seen this before" comes up more than once. It doesn't try to change the rules of the game, but it does manage to keep you glued to the screen from beginning to end.

The economic and social backdrop gives the story an extra layer of interest, evoking a period marked by ambition and shady deals. It doesn't dive too deep, but it adds a touch of realism that grounds the characters and gives some weight to what could otherwise be just pure action.

The cast works well overall, with solid performances and a few characters who stand out more than expected. Many roles feel familiar, but the energy they bring helps prevent them from being completely flat.

Visually, the film looks slick, with an ambition that aims to place it among international thrillers. Sometimes that ambition feels a little forced, as if it wants to look bigger than it really is, but the result is still stylish and appealing.

In the end, El correo is pure Calparsoro: rhythm, intensity, and a straightforward style that doesn't let up. It may repeat formulas and not surprise much, but as entertainment it works just fine and delivers exactly what it promises: a good time.
