This one deals with three swindlers played by Sancho Gracia , Pablo Carbonell, Carlos Fuentes who getaway from a jail van when Guardia Civil is taking then back to penitentiary to exact their comdenation. When the vehicle has an unfortunated accident they flee and go the Mediterranean sea, there they find an isolated mansion where stand hiidden out . Buth then appears a gorgeous foreigner, Elsa Pataki , and things go awry. Meanwhile they become involved with a twisted intrigue about Plutonium smugging and are mercilessly chased by Policemen, Rafal Alvarez El Brujo, and the Russian mafia led by a mobster, Aitor Mazo.

This is an action comedy , but it is more a noisy comedy than an action movie. The film relies heavily on the affecttionate relationship among three protagonists, it results in being extremely speaking themselves , that's why it seems to be some boring and tiring. The sympathetic trio of main actors deliver agreeable acting as Sancho Gracia who plays a retired crook , Pablo Carbonell as the distressed delinquent who was born and raised in prison. Here stands out the beautiful Elsa Pataki in an enjoyable role as a suspect foreigner. Efficiently produced by Carlos Fernandesz and Juan Fernandez from Filmax and Fantastic Factory , they have produced successful films as Fragiles, saga Rec, Dagon, El segundo nombre, Darkness, Beyond reanimator , Fragiles , La monja, Faust, among others . Being directed professionally by Benito Rabal, though it has flaws and gaps

Wax (2014)

Mediocre terror film with a number of grisly murders, stabbing and eerie scenes

[5/10 · 31 October 2018]

It deals with a young reporter, Jimmy Shaw, who signs up a reality show run by Geraldine Chaplin. He has to spend a whole night at Barcelona Wax Museum. Initially he thinks of standing alone inside the dark location, but things go wrong when a sinister, sadistic and mysterious figure shows up :Doctor Knox, Jack Taylor, Hannibal Lecter-lookalike.

Average horror movie with a lot of grisly killing, spooky situations, slashing, gore and guts. It is utterly set inside a creepy museum, there takes place ghastly happenings carried out by a malevolant Doctor Knox, that's why Knox was a Scottish physician who underwent human experiments thanks to corpses delivered by the infamous undertakers Bucky and Hare. Here stands out the splendid makeup by the prestigious artist Colin Arthur, as well as the costumes designed by the notorious and recently deceased Yvonne Blake who was Oscar winner for Nicholas and Alexandra, and Patton. Cast and support cast are acceptable. Stars Jimmy Shaw as the young who eventually encounters himself being horrorized by the eerie presence of the cannibal Doctor Knox well played by Jack Taylor. And a varied group of intimate secondaries who usually played sinister roles in the 70s such as Lone Fleming, Antonio Mayans, Saturnino Garcia, Denis Rafter and voice in off by the terror king, Paul Naschy or Jacinto Molina.

The motion picture was regularly directed by Victor Matellano. He is a crafstman who attempts to rekindle the usual genres of the 60s and 70s as Terror and Spaghetti Western . He has directed shorts and documentary, such as Stacatto, Regresa el Cepa, Tio Jess, The ravine of the British , Zarpazos Spanish terror. He has made three passable movies as Vampyres, Stopover in the hell and this Wax.
