Plot

This Spanish language psychological/crime thriller explores the situation of a ruthless gangster under interrogation for crimes he has no knowledge of. Imanol Arias plays a mob hitman whose contract was to kill a stool pigeon. This informer takes sadistic pleasure in torturing and tormenting yet another gang informer, whom he eventually kills. When the hitman kills the surviving informer, he discovers that the deceased has made a deal with the police, who were there when the hit occurred. Because of that deal, the hitman is picked up by the police before he can escape. The hitman is mistaken for the informer, and undergoes brutal and relentless interrogation as the police try to get the information from him. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
