Cast: Javier Gutierrez, Patrick Criado, Luis Callejo, Miquel Gelabert

Director: Lluis Quilez

Below Zero or in spenish Bajocero is a 2021 released drama thriller film available on Netflix. They have categorised it as a action thriller but after watching it, I found out it more of as a drama thriller as the actions are quite less in the film.

The story of the film runs around a cop Martin, who got his first prisoners transfer duty. After checking the inmates and loading up, the bus is ready for transfer. But someone on the road know their moves and is ready for them to come close.

Soon that unknown threat is able to stop the bus and get rid of the fellow policeman. Martin who has already stoped the bus after loosing visuals of the fellow cops, gets of it and start searching the unknown attacker.

But after the situation gets in favor of that unknown threat, Martin find himself with the prisoners who got successful to cut loose while all that attack on cops was happening. But it is not that easy to break open the bus and only way to get out was the key with Martin.

The unknown threat then told everyone through the cop radio that he will let everyone walk away only if they are ready to handover only one prisoner to him named Nano.

Fearing death Nano swallows the key of way out making it a no way out of the bus. But who is this unknown threat and why he wants Neno only.? Will Martin the cop, be able to save them.? That’s the suspense and to know more you have to watch the movie.

The storyline of the film and the motive of that unknown threat is forceful. And if we talk about emotional content, then we all know sometimes we find things not according to law but are morally correct. The movie make us all think about the moral values.

The film start good with decent acting and strong storyline. But the film got a bit slow in the mid and you might also feel bore with those extra and unnecessary parts. But all together it is a decent watch.

It’s my second review for a Spanish film and I guess the industry is doing great. I will watch some more Spanish movies now on.

Rating: 6.5/10
