This film had me hooked right up to the point where Juan Oliver takes the walkie talkie radio to make contact with the outside.. there was no gain for him to take that risk at that early stage and letting things take their natural course would have been the more realistic alternative
Silly things like this often need to happen in movies to make them exciting but I feel that the story could have been written more intelligently instead.. there was a lot to work with at this point including the ETA hostages who never really drove the story and felt more like a side plot
Then the ex prison guard donning the old uniform and the pregnant wife getting beaten to death outside etc, and the believability factor really started to disappear
Saved by some very good central performances, this movie could have been better
