Summer 1978. Ignacio Cañas (Marcos Ruiz) is a 17-year-old introvert, and somewhat of a misfit student who lives in Girona. When he meets Zarco (Chechu Salgado) and Tere (Begoña Vargas), two young criminals from the city's Chinatown, he finds himself immersed in an unstoppable career of theft and robbery. It is the story in which Nacho grows older, crossing the line between good and evil, between justice and injustice.

Outlaws gets off to a slow start and by the end feels like several movies in one. Go to Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine 12/07/2021

Las leyes de la fronteras, which does not pretend to be a masterpiece, or anything close, and like all Monzón cinema seeks to entertain, works like a Swiss watch. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Fausto Fernandez Fotogramas 10/18/2021

Daniel Monzón's films have always centered on the loss of innocence as a bittersweet adventures and Las leyes de la frontera echoes this. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Philipp Engel Cinemanía (Spain) 10/05/2021

Contains a powerful idea. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Carlos F. Heredero Caimán Cuadernos de Cine 09/29/2021
It's there, in the gazes between the two characters (especially in those of Tere, played by a splendid Begoña Vargas) where the film finds the emotional pulse and authenticity it fails to depict in the rest of its footage. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Debbie T 07/11/2023 It was too cringey and acting was so bad for big name actors. See more 12/02/2021 Even dubbed, the authenticity grabbed me. I can feel it, in my stomach. More real than many movies. Not since City of God, or Y tu Mama Tambien, have I been this affected. We Americans should aspire to bring real romance, grit and relationships to the screen. Films such as Outlaws could be more than we can bear. See more 11/23/2021 You know it will all crash but it is an interesting ride. The actress who plays Tere steals the movie.
