Au bout du tunnel

Fans of Spanish cinema should beware, because this relatively forgotten work can easily be included in the popular mix of The Hidden Face, The Invisible Guest, The Body and Sleep Tight. A guy in a wheelchair lives in a huge house and while working in the basement he discovers that a gang of thieves are digging a tunnel to the bank right under his house and decides to take action. The typically Spanish features are kept as strict as ever: quality acting, plenty of suspense, sharp and nice plot twists with an escalating finale where you can hardly catch your breath, and an original premise. As an added bonus, there is big-eyed Clara Lago, who in her mini shorts will make men's imaginations go wild. Perfect. 80% (05/02/2019)

It aims to be a dark thriller, which is achieved by the fact that most of the film takes place in darkness, or it's further enhanced to create the right impression. Otherwise, it is actually quite ordinary and, to be honest, even drawn out. It's a bit reminiscent of The Ladykillers if it weren't a comedy. There are some interesting characters here. (17/01/2017)
