Kuhusu filamu hii

This taut political thriller set in Latin America marks John Malkovich's explosive directorial debut. Academy Award® winner Javier Bardem stars as legit policeman Agustin Rejas, who faces the greatest challenge of his career - to catch the leader of a terrorist movement threatening to collapse his government, while being stopped at every turn by his own corrupt superiors. As the fight becomes more ferocious, Rejas' search brings him ever closer to the guerrilla leader. But when, amidst the chaos, he falls in love with his daughter's ballet teacher (Laura Morante), Rejas must choose between his heart, his country, and his own well-being.

Ukadiriaji na maoni

Full of twists and turns. Bardem is in top form. Rarely do I enjoy a movie more than the book.

Strong lead performance but a predictable storyline

The film's runtime was appropriate, ensuring the story was told effectively
