Today we have a very interesting and exciting Spanish crime movie review. In the movie, we follow the story of a crime novelist named Que who lives in Valencia but lives outside the town in a house resembling a hut in a large swamp.
His passion for writing leads him to the search for something more exciting, following a corruption case that leads to murder.

The story
The story begins with our hero, Q. He is at a book fair introducing his new book and signing for fans.
Here a fan asks him about his book and what drives all the novel to kill, but he does not answer it.
The story takes place, and we get to know more about the characters. Here we have a well-known economy minister accused of corruption and money laundering, but he denies all these accusations. Here, Kew watches these press and TV conversations with passion and decides to write a new novel full of excitement and honesty, so he decides to kidnap Quarteto, the former economy minister and university professor. To take him to the hut where he lives.
Quarteto begins to speak while Que writes each letter behind him, then eventually kills him and disposes of the body.
The kidnapping took place at night, nobody could recognize it, and it was never a party for anyone to suspect.
Here, Laboury, the gang leader and her man, Falconetti, goes mad.
A new character, Isabelle, also appears to us, a prominent woman in the country, for whom Quarteto washes money.
The men of Isabel summon the leader to Labore and tell her that she must act about the disappearance of Quarteto and that the police will begin an investigation soon.
This is where the role of the gangster Falconito appears, who secured the drug trade and killed and burned niggers.
He can get to know the Q bike number after he went to university in order to obtain corruption documents in the Quarteto cupboard at the university.
Unfortunately, that was the degree to Necho's brother Qiu, and he was killed without justification instead of his brother by Falconetti.
Here, the table is turned upside down against everyone.
Characters
We have Qeo, a very distinguished and experienced writer and novelist who loves crime and mystery, but unfortunately his passion drives him to search for corruption cases in the country that lead to murder and big problems.
The famous actor with the character of Berlin in the series La casa de papel played a wonderful role as it should be, and you will notice him most of the time as a seasoned writer who does not care about what is happening but does not seem tense in the worst moments of the movie.
He lives in a swamp far from the hustle and bustle of the city and gives himself a wonderful atmosphere to write and focus, and this was what his brother Nacho did not like, who asked him to sell that hut and go to live in the city, but he refused.
Nacho here lives a traditional life with his wife and young son, but because of Kue he was put in the midst of events and was killed without guilt.
Falquente, the gangster who ruthlessly kills and executes the orders that his leader asks for, is because he lived more in prison than he actually did and gained great anger and evil.
Quarteto and Isabel are the role of most corrupt statesmen who appear to look great and formal but who conceal a lot of corruption and money laundering.
The acting
Our hero, Keo, played the role as it should, because he did not show him tense or alarmed at any moment, but he was sure of himself, and he seems completely convinced of what he is doing.
Photography
There were no scenes that required ingenuity in photography, but the distinctive point seems that we have never noticed filming in this film. The camera and the movement between scenes and footage were so smooth that we did not feel the camera and imaging between the scenes.
personal opinion
Perhaps the film did not add a new idea, such as the Spanish movie The Platform, which we reviewed later, but the film had two perspectives, as it reflects the corruption of statesmen and their cooperation with drug dealers and with its masters of economics and with all aspects until the appropriate moment after which they give up on everyone.
The second perspective is the creativity of a seasoned crime writer who reveals what the police cannot disclose, but it is in the traditional way of kidnapping and confession.
I recommend watching this movie as I will give it a rating of 8.5 / 10
