Great Film overall

Better Late Then Never

A Major Disappointment

Another very good thriller film from Spain. Direction, plot, performance of the actors-actresses, are all excellent. It's one of the fortunate examples of the cinematic art treating subjects like revenge, family members' affairs, hunger for success by all means and a very direct "moment of truth" for the protagonist.

If you take LOCKE - starring Tom Hardy spending all the feature length speaking in a cell phone whilst he drives his car - and Joel Schumacher's PHONE BOOTH, starring Colin Farell trapped in a phone booth because of a death threat over his head - not a bomb but a sniper - you will easily get this film topic. OK, that a pretty good suspense, but admit that since a couple of years now, you have many of those topics emerging every where; I mean phone calls involving death threats, or a person asked to kill some folks by unknown killers using a cell phone. A very predictable scheme. When it is not persons buried, locked in a coffin, room, car chest, basement...I guess you will see many more in a near future. Only a not predictable ending can spice those suspense stories. It is also a little "tribute" to the economic crisis; the banker accused to have pushed a woman to suicide because of her lost savings...

A banker goes to work one day and takes the kids to be dropped off at school but before that can happen, he receives a phone call from someone who tells him he has placed a bomb under the seats of the car and tells him he must arrange a transfer of money to him.It's the kind of idea that has been seen before whereby someone on the end of a phone is controlling someone else for their gain but from the offset we are sent on a thrilling journey making you wonder why this is happening and making you wonder what you would do in such a situation. The director manages to keep things fairly grounded and so the realism assists in building up the tension. There are a couple of twists thrown in which keeps the pace going. Good acting from everyone involved in a cast that I am unfamiliar with due to the Spanish production. In the decade of remakes and reboots, this is certainly a film I can see being remade at some point. Provided you do not mind reading subtitles this is certainly worth the viewing time.

the film begins promisingly, but as the action unfolds, the script begins to lose credibility ... starts talking sense that it is a Spanish film that tries to make an American thriller .. out there .. we go wrong when we try to compete with American... No one in Spain speaks on the phone, as if he were a radio announcer. But hey, even there, there are certain things that can make it work until ... I do not understand that the boy was injured very seriously in the leg and the car does not suffer, apparently, no external damage after the explosion of the car of his friend, but hey, leaving that aside, let's what concerns me ... the moment they turn off the mobile covert and, therefore, the remote control of the bomb will not work ... anyone will have gone to disarm the bomb, and Luis .. dear, stop hiding the maniac's mobile phone, WHY DO YOU DO THAT, you are showing the police someone is speaking to you on the phone, but you don't give it to them when you have the chance to... IDIOT, you give the phone to the police, they track the call, and then he could be caught. And then, the police let that guy go to the car wearing a bulletproof vest.. just that?? now one goes with him... in Spain???? I'm sorry, but we must make credible things, if phones do not work, the remote of the second or third bomb wouldn't work as well... which by the way ... how many bombs could one person place in just one night??? but really, for 67,000 € ???? LOL
