Daniel Calparsoro’s film is stars in Antonio Resines, which is 70 years old and 150 films behind him, and is set in the night of Kings. “Who could believe in them again,” says the journalist. Resines plays a police officer who, on the eve of retirement, unexpectedly becomes an action hero when he is caught on a road to the outskirts of Madrid for a large snowfall.
“It is quite predictable, including the outcome. Everything is correct and forgettable. Nothing more, ”says the critic, who also assures that it is action cinema but that the tape does not produce any shock. Of course, when he speaks of Calparsoro, he highlights his “remarkable visual capacity in his excellent relationship with that camera that serves to tell stories” and regrets that the director does not find “bright scripts, characters with body and soul and attractive and complex situations.”
About Resines, with which he claims to maintain an “unwavering friendship after 50 years”, he is clear: “It offers him the prominence in a dramatic role that he does not usually frequent. And when the directors have trusted their dramatic vein, it has been triumphant in such problematic mission. ”
In addition, Boyero shows his love for masterpieces of the robbers cinema such as Heat o Holdup perfect And take the opportunity to ask for a desire: “I would like this genre to also shine in Spanish cinema.”
