Banco

Spain doesn't disappoint and once again delivers a twisted and clever film full of interesting ideas. What appears to be a run-of-the-mill bank robbery turns out to be more than that as the cards of the hostages and their tangled stories are gradually revealed. It's got some fairly unpredictable elements and twists, clever dialogue and a final revealed idea, but on the other hand it's still a B-movie without any notable actors or aspects that I'll remember in the future. The result is a passable average that manages to surprise in bits and pieces, but as a whole, I found it lacking a stronger glue to bind the parts together into a better final creation. (26/08/2022)

An excellent Spanish heist film reminiscent of Money Heist. The story focuses on a woman who comes to the bank to borrow 35,000 euros she urgently needs by tomorrow morning, but when two armed robbers enter the bank, everything quickly becomes complicated. An interesting plot development, sharp and entertaining twists, smart dialogues, gripping negotiations, and a surprising finale. Another Spanish romp packed with twists that is very enjoyable and captivates with the original unfolding of the story. Very good.
