A suspenseful and intriguing movie in low budget with thrills , chills , brief character studio , chases , twists , turns and sudden bursts of violence . A nice Spanish thriller with a cluster of deeply etching performances from a tight-knit group of Spain's best character roles , concentrating on the intricate plotting of a money robbery , its execution and subsequent undoing of the thieves , as well as the sad consequences . A competent piece of filmmaking done in thrilling and surprising style , resulting in an unespected finale . The film follows the wake of American classic film as "The Killing" 1958 by Stanley Kubrick and "The jungle of Asphalt" 1950 by John Huston , both of them remain models of its kind , including pessimism , fatalism and with plenty of avaricious and unfortunate characters who undertake crimes with fateful results .

Nothing spectacular, but enough to keep you interested and entertained for an hour & a half. The two leads are quite likeable, which makes you root for them to pull it off, against all odds. You'll forget about this movie a minute after watching it, but if all you're looking for is a way to kill 90 minutes, you could do a lot worse.
