GAL
5.2/10

To the End of the Road
5.4/10
An executive and his girlfriend, a medical doctor, are kidnapped by a couple to pass them to France by car. The kidnappers intended to flee to Rio de Janeiro with the strange idea of starting a restaurant. She is a simple cook without trouble with the law, but so persistent that manages to convince her husband to elope with her release from prison for a weekend.
A golpes
4.7/10
The first half of this movie may be tasteless: there is this bunch of girls and boys living in the working class suburbs of Madrid around the boxing club, some action, some sex, not going nowhere, but soon the characters begin to sharpen, the story takes shape around persons and groups. One can expect things to get bad in any moment but psychology takes over easy violence on the screen and the second half is a much more captivating linear part, where the characters have more convincing roles. Nathalia Verbeke is amazing, once again!, in a new and physically demanding role. Can't keep from comparing her with Hilary Swank performance in Million Dollar Baby.
The Game of Truth
5.8/10
Four friends (two couples) play a game of truth on the evening after one of them, Ernesto, is mistakenly told by a doctor he has only three months to live. Ernesto's a sad sack, living with Lea at his parents', about to lose a job he got through his best friend, Alberto.

The truths that come out during the game, especially Ernesto's desire for Susana, create havoc. Alberto and Susana's wedding and Ernesto's new test results are coming soon.
