Hasta el cielo

Director Daniel Calparsoro already surprised me with the tough crime thriller Twin Murders: The Silence of the White City. This time he takes on a gang of young criminals craving money and fame, and it's fresh exotic entertainment with flair. I am very satisfied with the cast, it features two familiar characters from Money Heist (Rio in the lead role and detective Tamayo, who is after him again – coincidence?). Rio's boss is the biggest Spanish star Luis Tosar, and I am particularly satisfied with the female cast, whether it's the beautiful MILF lawyer or the two Spanish beauties, I will probably dream about them for a few more days. The film, with a runtime of two hours, has a great pace, it moves forward quickly, Rio robs one jewelry store after another and constantly evades the police. Great summer music, erotic scenes, tension, and a tense finale with a shocking climax that adds an extra star. In terms of the screenplay, it could have been more intricately developed, but I definitely had more fun than with the last batch of films. 7/10. (04/04/2021)
