The current wave of kidnappings in Latin America inspired this tense suspense drama. Martin (Jean Paul Leroux) and Carla (Mía Maestro) are a wealthy young couple who, after a night of club hopping, head back to their car to go home. However, three kidnappers -- Bubu (Pedro Perez), Niga (Carlos Madera), and Trece (Carlos Julio Molina) -- are waiting for them; seeing how free they are with their money, the men figure that Martin and Carla should fetch a decent ransom for their release. The kidnappers demand 20,000 dollars to set Martin and Carla free, and Carla's father (Rubén Blades) struggles to raise the cash, with the criminals insisting upon payment in a mere two hours. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

An honest police officer looking to apprehend a dangerous member of a local drug cartel accomplishes his righteous goal, only to find that the reach of the criminal kingpin who has marked the man for death extends further than he thought in this Spanish-language thriller starring Jorge Luke. Pedro is a dedicated cop who always goes by the book. Barnabe is a low-level criminal working for a high profile drug cartel. When Barnabe is marked for death by his ruthless boss, Pedro inadvertently saves Barnabe's life by throwing the man with a hearty price on his head behind bars. Little does Pedro realize that in protecting Barnabe he has signed his own death warrant, and now between the corrupt police officers and murderous mob men it's going to take a miracle for these two men to emerge from the ensuing hail of gunfire alive. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
