A damn good surprise from Spain
searchanddestroy-121 August 2016
Warning: Spoilers
First, I am surprised that no one has commented it yet. I think that's a sort of HEAT from Spain, or at least a film very under the Michael Mann's masterpiece influence. Not the same story nor the same scheme, but the same characters drawing and symphony, same photography and scenery, and I would say the same production design. Movie about friendship among real men, in the old fashion way, a story of professional armed robbers who, disguised as elite police force, attack heavy, important drug shipments with the help, the information, from a rotten policeman...The leader of this bunch is a gangster whose childhood friend is just discharged from jail and the other friend a cop on his tail. Those three characters were all friends two decades earlier, and you can guess the following. The police supervisor is also the mob informer; and the cop, friend with the two others, suspects him to deal with gangsters. So, the supervisor asks the gang leader to get rid of his cop friend.

You have a love segment that has nothing to do in that film. But it doesn't spoil it, and that's the most important.

A director to follow...
