Occhio per occhio

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.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

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.

Quien A Hierro Mata is definitely one of the better Spanish movies I watched this year. First of all I like revenge movies, it always gives me some kind of satisfaction, but most of the time in this genre the story is filled with a lot of bloodshed, torture and/or murder. In this movie it's more of a slow burner, but it certainly worked well. There is some suspense, the story is well written and constructed, you never get a boring feeling. And that's mostly due to the excellent acting from the whole cast, especially from Luis Tosar playing Mario. In my opinion Eye For An Eye deserves a higher rating, in this genre it's just much better than most of the other revenge themed movies.

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.

Luis Tosar is a great actor!!! Fantastico Luis!!I I found the film very tense and exciting, it's for sure worth watching!! Certainly the best Spanish film I have seen in a long time.

I just don't understand how this narco criminals, had so much power, weapons.... etc... really anoying!! That's why I think the film loses some power towards the end!!! , a real freezing cold end.
