Awful Spanish movie, a waist of time, 4 November 2006
1/10
Author: jaime-nm from Spain

To bad that a subject as this one is wasted with such a poor script. The main actors, except for Mollá, that interprets Amedo -the Spanish police officer who hired the mercenaries to kill Basque terrorist in France- do not help to improve something that each minute gets more tedious to see.

As a reality show could work but it also fails due to a continuous auto-promotion of the journalistic ego and a tremendously subjective vision of the GAL phenomenon (only focused on what it was discovered by the journalists of this so called Spanish Watergate).

The script is confused, the dialogs are poor - except for those of Amedo- and the flash-backs get you lost in the thread.

Another product carrying the inexorable mark "made in Spain".
