Enemigos íntimos

It's your typical crime story with many of the characters ending up dead. What's atypical is the story's premise: 2 childhood friends end up at opposite sides of the law; one, a criminal, the other a narc agent. The way the story brings them together is something the viewer appreciates albeit it takes some time to set it up.

Matias Schoenaerts brings about a solid performance here as Manuel whose back is against the wall. Reda Kateb lends critical support to the engaging narrative.

It's initially slow burn but picks up speed and ends with an uncommon wallop.
