Day Release

Tercer Grado (or Day Release for the English title) isn't bad at all if you're looking for some easy entertainment. The movie starts stating it is based on true events. I have my doubts about that to be honest. If this really happened like in the movie I have to say that guy has some serious 'coj..es'. I guess it's a bit romanticized, to make the story look tougher. The acting from the rather small cast was good, and so were the action scenes. It isn't a long movie, just long enough to tell a crazy but entertaining story.

Tercer Grado is without a doubt the best 2015 Spanish Thriller. With almost no budget and an amazingly young cast and crew (24 years old average), this team showed to the Spanish industry that miracles do exist and that you can film an excellent movie if you put all your love and energy into it. They won multiple national and international awards, but what is more important, they made happy the audience offering an action thriller film that will take your breath away. Geoffrey Cowper did a great job directing and Jesus Lloveras and Sara Casasnovas delivered an outstanding performance. When I go to a movie theater I expect to be entertained, this film exceed my expectations more than entertained, I became a fan of the entire cast and crew and as a filmmaker myself I'll try to hire talented Lloveras and Casasnovas for my next production before they become so big that I won't be able to afford them.
