Código Emperador

This is a really solid, well-made, intriguing and eminently watchable film. Unlike typical Hollywood 'action', with constant fight scenes, explosions and CGI to force the pace and to keep you "entertained", this movie brings you into a well-acted story plot and keeps you there. Highly recommended! Enjoy.

Netflix writes (on TV - not on computer, the texts differ) In this fast-paced spy thriller.... Hmm..., I could undo the seatbelt, however, because "fast-paced", now not so for me. Nevertheless, the cast does its job well, a very sympathetic Alexandra Masangkay, as a Filipino worker, Luis Tosar, I see since "The Minions of Midas" quite like and Arón Piper you know together with Georgina Amorós from "Élite".

The story is quite solid, quieter than expected but with several plot lines and leads the one or the other viewer sometimes on the slippery slope.

Basically, the agent Luis Tosar is in the foreground here with the moral question of how far he is willing to go. He manages to embody warm-heartedness and brutality in one person and until the end you don't know where the development with him is going.

Action should not be expected from this, but those who want to get involved in various machinations of the secret service and their consequences would have an alternative to the usual agent films with this film.

------------ Conclusion: Quite good - can be done.

"rara avis" in the current panorama of Spanish cinema. In my opinion the interpretation of Miguel Rellán is a little off the hook, I expected something more consistent. Overall, I think it's a good movie.

A master builder tear down an empire from top to bottom in this delightful spy thriller. Thorough precise work by Luis Tosar brings a veteran presence to the movie. This is the kind of thriller that does work without the the common fire works and car chases. It's a rarity to come across a plot with true cinematic value. Code name Emperor's main character Juan is the kind of whistleblowers our world need. In a world where men and women made into puppets using data or the secrets Juan's character finds empathy and that emotions are carefully performed. The societal and political commentary is excellent. Code Name Emperor in these regards is an excellent movie.

I found this film to be good, but a little boring getting near the middle. Luis tosar as juan did a great job and I enjoyed his acting and the two seperate lives he leads. I was also pleasantly surprised to see georgina amoros. I always enjoy things she is in and I feel she just brings a ray of sunshine to her roles. The plot could've been better, but there was enough of it to keep it interesting. Overall not bad. But could've been better Georgina amoros.
