Trivia
Jorge's comic-book shop set was staged in the Usera district, Madrid. People in the street suddenly were eager to enter, hopefully believing that a real comic-book shop had opened in Usera; and, when they were told it was just a set, they refused to be disappointed arguing that there were real comic-books in the shelves. Particularly children refused to leave, and the director had a hard time explaining the situation.

Goofs
Poisoning with polonium would not result in people passing out, as the nerds are seen doing at the party. They also would not recover as fast as seen in the movie, and making them vomit (as they are seen doing outside after the party) would have no effect if the polonium poisoning was so advanced (which would take days or more) as to make them lose consciousness.

Crazy credits
A scene with Javier Rey and Leonardo Sbaraglia is shown at end of the closing credits.

Started out so well...

First up, this is a SPANISH movie. Not sure why people complain about this as it's pretty darn obvious. Newsflash, countries outside the US are allowed to make movies.

Let's start by saying I'm not unit superheroes at all. I am, however, into Spanish thrillers. This one started out pretty well, with a nice balance between the old cop, the young cop, and the nerdy son.

Just about the middle though it takes a turn to absurdity. The end is ....not far fetched necessarily, but really more appropriate for a comic then a movie for grown ups.

It was enjoyable, especially the first half, but be prepared for a weaker ending.
