Pretty awesome lo-budget b-movie!
Let's start with the positives, Akie as Clay (the main character) is just outstanding altho in general I was more engaged with the "villains": Joe Wredden as Johnson reminded me a bit of Sherlock (the series), Elsa Nori as Oona is obviously on her element, Patrick Carroll Jr. is clearly having fun with his character Mercurio and Magdalena as Learza is just a delight to watch.
I don't give it a 10 as I know it's an arthouse b-movie, still feels a bit too short and I wouldn't have minded if we knew more about the characters, so it works more like a TV pilot than a movie, still, it's something I would really like to see. Also, it took me a second viewing to understand the whole thing a bit more, not sure if this will going down well with the short attention spam audiences.
Saying that, the pace is great, the music is awesome and the world Carlos created is atmospheric and fascinating. Clay's Redemption treats the audience with respect, so it doesn't drown you with exposition (some people will have trouble with this though) and it did remind me of Carpenter's They Live (one of my very favourite films) so I'm happy this classic way of filmmaking is making a come back.
Loved it, recommended it!
