Common Places

The film is an amusing political thriller plus an impossible love story and it's worth it just for the fact that Eduard Fernández appears in it. His performance is simply astonishing. He plays the bodyguard of a Portuguese business man threatened by the terrorist band ETA. Everything complicates when he falls in love with the daughter of the business man. The movie loses much of its power as the story approaches its political side. It leads us to the common places that we're used to hear about the terrorism in the Basque Country. Nothing new. The author (although he seems to have good intentions) has lost a good chance to show another view.
