Good concept, clumsy production

This could have been a great little film with better pacing and better talent. The parents, particularly the dad, are well over acted and I've seen much better kid actors playing the ox and the donkey in school nativities.

Under the guise of social cinema, an intense thriller

A film that, under the narrative structure of a thriller, addresses an everyday situation that any of us could suffer.

With a simple staging and planning, with the focus on the story it tells, without distractions or visual displays, it immerses us in an exciting journey where we put ourselves in the shoes of its protagonist, a man as cowardly as any of us.

The circular structure of the script ensures that the tension grows throughout the film until reaching an intense ending.

The film is a metaphor about societies gripped by fear that ultimately end up resorting to violence to resolve conflicts that.

We must highlight the excellent performance of the main actors.

At some points it may remind you of Sam Peckinpah's Straw Dogs or some of Haneke's films.
