If you want to make a good movie you have to fulfill some requirements which include:
Good story: which you are teased to think that it's there somewhere and everything will be explained soon but it doesn't happen, despite the quick start and the nice brief of each character but then something is missed during the last third of the movie.
Good cast: which is available here and each role is well done by each actor specially the Spanish version of "Anne Hathaway" and "Jaime Ordóñez" which plays "Israel", although "Israel" suddenly got conscious in the last third of the movie after being drunk and intoxicated through the other parts which is quite unexplained.
Good writing: which is also there and you will feel it clearly when you digest the role of each one so quickly and you will feel that you know the history of each character in the first few minutes of the movie.
Good directing: I loved the using of some close shots of the characters specially the opening scene which shows the crowded life of Madrid, and the scene of the characters running through the sewage.
No weird incidences of faults : I just can't accept the idea that "Elena" kept her artificial nails on through that rough journey without losing or breaking one single nail, I wonder from which material her nails are made ! The other thing that the characters did a comment about the sewage smell only once then they kept acting like it's normal and they were dealing with it as an open sea,they ran, sank, hided and even had a peaceful conversation on the shores of the sewage.
I liked the analytical thinking the characters did trying to solve the dilemma, and how can a group of people keep suspecting each other which shows how rude the human can be in order to keep his life.
Finally "Survival of the fittest" was refuted totally in this movie but the problem we didn't understand the survival should be of what exactly !!
