The Worst Film Ever

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Cien años de perdón, a film directed by Spanish film director, Daniel Calparsoro, is a feature film that was released on the third of March, 2016. The film stars' famous actors and actresses such as Luis Tosar, Rodrigo De La Serna, Raúl Arévalo, José Coronado, and Patricia Vico. Calparsoro's work received high praise after its release date in the form of receiving nominations for various awards, including the Goya awards, and winning best actor and best director at the Mestre Mateo Awards. Falling under the genre of action/adventure, Cien años de perdón, features thrilling scenes of suspense, violence, and narrow escapes.The entire film is centered around a bank heist, that takes place in the city of Valencia, Spain. Bank robbers, "El Gallego" and "El Uruguayo", along with accomplices, try their luck at robbing millions of dollars from deposit boxes from one of Valencia's largest banks. When their escape plan does not go as planned it is up to them to figure out a way to freedom. However, only once inside the bank would they realize that in one special box there was much, much more than money could ever equal. The film is set in modern times, during Spain's great recessional era. Many people of Spain were very discontent with the current government and economic regulations that they had put in place. No one without a job could obtain one, and the people who were fortunate enough to have consistent work were still barely making any money. These harsh economic times are what forced people to abandon their sense of right and wrong, and commit actions that they felt were absolutely necessary in order to survive. Looking at the technical side of the production, the entire screening is meant to promote action and suspense. The music is always either very dark and ominous, or very fast paced and exhilarating. The actual cinematography and development of the plot line is just the same. A perfect example would be in the beginning of the film. As the camera pans across crowded streets, rain pours down and intense music plays in the background. In the corners of the shops and alleys there is only darkness, leaving it unknown what all is out there. The actors portray serious characters who clearly have led lives of crime for the entirety of their adulthood. They are well versed in being efficient, to the point, and conveying the feeling of that they are not people to be messed with. Judging the films acting, production, plot line, and more, I believe that this movie was very well made, and deserves all the credit where it is due. The film is suspenseful and demands the attention of the audience, leaving them on the edge of their seats throughout the entirety of the motion picture. I would recommend this movie to all audiences that can handle a PG-13 level production, and I say this due to its incorporation of inappropriate language and violence. In Cien años de perdón, brilliant filmography, excellent acting, and a very well developed plot line are what makes this movie a wonderful experience, and a story you won't forget, and that is why it continues to receive national and international recognition every day.

Its a movie about bank heist but it is no ordinary heist--and it is not just guns and fists...and frothy testosterone. The real testosterone is effectively bought out by decisions that people make inside and outside when everything is on line. It is these decisions that keep you glued. Mentally and conceptually. ....it is the dialogues that sets the situation...whether it is past crime, current crime, or future action. Great acting, impressive cast sells it--you don't need special effects to make an immersive movie. Even hostages behave smartly but not too smartly--like real people, and the tension is maintained till the last min. You never know which way the movie will lean. This is something Spanish thrillers have perfected. Hollywood will not make such a movie but should....you can only ride for so long on the comic books and invincible heroes. As others have pointed out it is not perfect, it has gaps, sometimes big holes, but the world that is created by the director (right down to the atmosphere both inside and outside) makes it come together in an entertaining manner and the twists play out in a methodical manner.

I went to the cinema to watch this movie as soon as I knew that Luis Tosar was in it, since he is hands down the best Spanish actor these days. My expectations were not too high about the movie itself, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a good thriller with a hint of comedy. Actually, the acting in this film is so good that the comedy moments fit naturally, without being too artificial nor relying on corny jokes. The actors are so natural and the script is so well written, that in some scenes you just need to laugh out loud. About the actors, Luis Tosar is great as always, but Rodrigo De la Serna is absolutely superb. He nails every scene he's in. I hope to see much more of him in the near future, since for me, both actors are the main reason why I liked this film so much. It is so easy to empathize with these two bank robbers. Joaquin Furriel also stands out, giving a brilliant performance. The rest of the cast was very good in general, with the only exception of the female lead. In my opinion, her acting was mediocre at best; I would have loved to see Marian Alvarez doing her part instead. But that is basically the only flaw in the casting, in my opinion. As to the plot, I found it very solid (I was not specifically looking for plot holes; there might be some, but they go unnoticed). The movie is thrilling, and it's entertaining. Will I watch this movie again? Absolutely.
