I usually enjoy Spanish thrillers, so I decided to give this one a try - and I liked it more than I expected. A policeman is returning home, promising to spend time with his daughter, when he's suddenly called for a mission. Now he can't go back home and has to save the day.

The film is not only entertaining for its action, but also meaningful, as it brings up some deeper lessons. All the actors are excellent in my opinion, and the director did a great job keeping the tension high throughout.

At the moment I'm writing this review, the film has a score of five, but I think it definitely deserves at least an 8. My impression is that some reviewers tend to give lower scores to European and non-American productions in general. If the same story and execution had come from a film made in the USA, I'm sure it would have scored at least a 6.0.

I'm not saying American productions aren't great - in fact, they're usually the best in the world (and I'm not American). However, I can't understand why European films often receive lower scores, even when they are as solid and enjoyable as this one.
