What could have been a dynamic political thriller is, at best, a mildly interesting story that never gets beyond two dimensions.

There is no mystery -- everyone seems to pretty much know what happened to Galindez, yet they keep trying to find out.

This movie was ok. I didn't like the ending though. Interesting movie about some spanish guy named Jesus Galindez who is in politics and mysteriously gets kidnapped and killed. Then there is this lady professor who is doing research on him to find out what exactly happened to him-what lead to his death. 6/10

Another movie in the RT database twice, so figured I should write a review for both. I did not think this movie was ever going to end. It is slow, painfully boring and very uninvolving. The cast does well, but they aren't good enough to salvage this stinker.
