A suspenseful, action-packed three-way manhunt full of twists and turns. Read more …
A bank robber escapes from prison to track down a former cellmate trying to make him take the fall for a series of murders. A female cop leads the chase for the fugitive, who soon becomes public enemy number 1. When the three protagonists have pushed themselves as far as they can go, who will be the hunter and who will be the prey?
Sweeping landscape shots and the reliable presence of Sergi López, here playing a scarred private investigator, can’t distract from the clichés of a particularly dim-witted script.
The only thing [the protagonist] can't out-smart is the film's weight of familiarity; the creeping sense that this caffeinated, cat-and-mouse narrative is actually turning round in circles.
Fast and furious, but also dull and derivative.
There's perhaps a little too much running and chasing but the pace doesn't let up, the end is an authentic cliffhanger, and Alice Taglioni gives an attractive performance as a plainclothes cop.
