A Forgotten Masterpiece submitted by carcarcar on June 21, 2012, 3:46pm This movie is beautifully shot, wonderfully acted & tells an interesting story. It was slow at times, but the cinematography & story kept me involved. Terence Stamp is fantastic & his dynamic against John Hurt makes the movie worth seeing. A young Tim Roth rounds out the trio as the movie unfolds. I definitely recommend it.
Thrilling

Good crime thriller that made me want to visit Spain. I feel like Tarantino probably likes this. Good climax.
Terence Stamp always looks like Malcolm McDowell and young Tim Roth reminds me of Simon Pegg.
