The brief

Dani de la Torre turns what could be generic spy thriller material into a taut, paranoia-fueled hunt that feels more like a political procedural than Bond nonsense. Mario Casas brings genuine weight to Zeta without falling into brooding cliches, while the Colombia-Spain connection adds layers that most international thrillers fumble. At over two hours it occasionally drags during the middle act, but the cat-and-mouse dynamics between Casas and Mariela Garriga keep you guessing who's really pulling the strings. Perfect for anyone who dug the grounded espionage of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy but wants something with more forward momentum.

The verdict

If you crave intelligent espionage thrillers that prioritize psychological tension over flashy action sequences, this grounded political procedural delivers the goods with strong performances and genuinely unpredictable twists. If you need your spy movies to move at breakneck speed or can't handle a 133-minute runtime with some pacing lulls, you'll find yourself checking your watch during the slower middle stretch.
