Le leggi della frontiera

What a fun ride this was.

The characters were great, the acting superb, the story was great. Transported you to 1978 Spain immediately and made you forget the film was shot in 2020.

Between Cell 211, El Niño, and now this? I'm excited to see what comes next from Monzón.

Hollywood could take a hint. The film is full of heart, yet it gives you all the chases, tension, laughs and gunfights you're looking for.

I highly recommend it. This one deserves international attention.

Trivial film at high levels and with a very forced plot, which however entertains and fascinates by making you become attached to all the characters and making you hope only for the best for them. So on a superficial level the film is very beautiful, but if one goes to look deeper the film is very weak and forced.

I put the movie on without high expectations, Netflix recommended it. The start is great and I got hooked immediately. It's just great fun from the start. The scenes from Spain are gorgeous and really authentic from the 70s. The movie has it all: action, humor, cinematography, good characters... I'll admit that they can be superficial at times, but it doesn't matter. I actually liked the title song a lot as well, it goes very well with the movie.

I go to Catalonia frequently so perhaps I'm biased - but I just loved to see this.

I watched this movie on Netflix today. It's a interesting story with good characters that we're interested to follow all along... you should get a look at it and you shouldn't be disappointed !

If your whole life, you have been belittled, bullied, not being taken seriously by other your own family or anyone else ... you will be quite susceptible to almost anything that show interest in you. Be it a woman and/or her friends, that may or may not be criminal (though to be fair it is quite obvious and not really a question that is tough to answer).

Having said that, the main character is very well drawn and his circumstances make you feel for and with him. It is throwback and goes back to a time, where everything was easier ... and tougher at the same time. Growing up back then had its own issues, but you did not have social media to mock and make fun of you. I can only imagine the level of bullying that is going on in todays schools.

But that is a side note in the whole story. Because what we do get is a twisted love story. A very complicated one - one where two persons that like each other seem unable to find each other. No pun intended ... but many great love stories had the biggest obstacles, so maybe that is a good sign ... and maybe not.

Really well done and well acted, this gives you an enticing and gripping thriller ...
