This is not a Whodunit but a Whatodowithit. As a thriller I found the contrasts between the reactions of the hard men (!) and the strong women very interesting, and wonder if another director would have thought to develop the relationships as presented in this film. It also sets up many different contrasting perspectives: Columbia and Spain (which are linguistically very interesting); the indigent and the wealthy (reflected in the locations), and those who want to move out of their trap. The music is perhaps a little too obvious in manipulating the spectators'reactions, but there are some good musical moments. It will not, however, please the Columbian Tourist Board. I did enjoy the film.

Spanish-language cinema across Spain and Latin America is united by its engagement with history, cultural identity, and social transformation. In Spain, films often balance artistic experimentation with popular genres while reflecting on memory, politics, and family. In Latin America, cinema has been deeply tied to questions of colonial legacy, resistance, and community resilience, ranging from intimate dramas to bold political allegories.

The crime genre features criminal activities, investigations, law enforcement, crimes, and the pursuit of justice. Crime stories often revolve around the planning, execution, and consequences of criminal acts, as well as the efforts to solve and prevent such acts. They explore various aspects of criminal behavior, motives, and the moral dilemmas faced by both perpetrators and those seeking to uphold the law.
