Lucio is a great documentary about a great man: the movie is just as passionate, inspiring and honest as the person it is based on. Saying more would be spoiling the fun of getting to know the incredible life of a bricklayer from Navarre, but seeing this guy challenge (and eventually defeat) the most powerful bank in the world is a delightful experience for the anarchist we all have inside. It is really hard to believe that such a good story had not been told before: Lucio Urtubia overcomes Frank Abagnale Jr. in charisma and authenticity, making 'Lucio the movie' a more rewarding film than 'Catch me if you can'. Obviously, Abagnale/Spielberg were in it for the money, while you can see that Urtubia/Arregi/Goenaga have a much higher aim. The movie is technically brilliant, and the music, the graphic design and the editing are all outstanding. A must see, if you want to get a new perspective on life, bricklayers and traveller's cheques.
