One hundred years of forgiveness
Last Sunday I went to cinema to watch One hundred years of forgiveness (Cien años de perdón), the last film directed by Daniel Carpalsoro.
A thieves group leads by El Uruguayo is ready to steal a bank in Valencia (Spain). Their objective is getting so many security boxes as they can and escape from the bank through a tunnel which connects to an abandoned subway station.
After alarms turns on and police contacts with the thieves, Prime Minister’s adviser discovers the real porpoise of the them: the box number 314, where Gonzalo Soriano, an ex-member of the government who slipped into a coma after a several accident, saved a hard disc with documents with involved information for several members of the government.
El Uruguayo and their band have to change their plans due to an incessant rain which floods the tunnel and blocks their escape. At the same time, a coronel of the secret services receives the mission of substitute to police and avoid the thieves escape with the hard disc.
My opinion... I like the film. It is quite exciting, with some typical humor jokes and the actors (specially the thieves) play really well. Obviously, it isn’t so best for win a lot prices like Oscars or Goyas but you can enjoy during two hours. If you like this kind of movies (I am thinking in action films but no so much special effects, like The Town or Inside Man), it is a good option for spend a weekend afternoon.
