Review

This Spanish film is a classic in it own manner. If you liked the movie, "Sleepers", or have read the book, "The Count of Monte Cristo" you will enjoy this film. The film has love, pain, betrayal, revenge, and most of all PASSION.

If you do not like subtitles, you need to place that on the back burner and enjoy the film. As I watched the film, I was on the edge, wondering what would happen next. It's an old 2004 movie, but has the ingredients of a great film.

4 out of 5 stars
