Audience Member An interesting concept about a young gay man who engages in terrorists acts to impress his older lover, a notarious terrorist himself. Israel Rodriguez is well cast as Xabi, the young man. The actor is very comfortable showing off his nude sinewy body on screen andr his intensity as an actor. The movie doesn't connect the dots between sex and terrorist acts though. The women's roles, especially Pepa Aniorte as Marta and Inma Cuevas as Rebecca, come across as horny dimwits. Instead, I wish dirctor and co-screenwriter Antonio Hens had simply focused on Rodriguez and his complicated relationship with Juan Luis Galiardo playing a closeted policeman. Also, the relationship between Xabi and his two friends on the lam from a youth prison aren't clear. The climax is a real letdown. You have to give credit to an independent film that dares to be different even when the sum of its parts don't add up to a cohesive film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Did expect something more from this...didnt like the terroristplot. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Mal interpretada, mal contada, y poco mas se puede decir, Nota para el director: Si quieres hacer una historia turbia, de un tema tan negro y doloroso como E.T.A, si quieres hacer una pelicula seria, no te rajes y acabala necio, no conviertas el final de la trama en una historieta de amor gay Papi oso, nene mono. Ya esta bien hombre!!! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member En video. No sabemos ante que tipo de pelicula estamos. Es una mezcla extraña de peli de aventuras teeneger, drama social con terrorismo incluido, o una de amor... tal vez todas a la vez... Pero su falta de credibilidad en las actuaciones, o en las circunstancias, su perdida de intensidad durante la trama y ese final pastiche malogran un buen tema. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Aren't we all looking for love in all the wrong places? That is the question being asked in this movie.
