Below Zero is a Spanish movie that tells the story of ambushing prisoners transportation. The policeman, Martin who survives the assault must face the prisoners and fight for his life. It is directed by Lluís Quílez which is his second feature film, and the main role is portraited by actor Javier Gutiérrez.
I didn't have a chance previously to watch the work of the director and actor, but acting and directing in this movie is good. I didn't read a synopsis before watching the movie so I didn't know what to expect. In the beginning, you get this good cop, bad cop vibe between Martin and his colleague policeman. This motive runs throughout the movie showing Martin as the man who believes in justice and law. As the story goes, revealing the reason behind the ambush, Martin starts to question his beliefs. I think this is done well, showing character progression throughout the movie.
However, the story has some weak points and holes. This didn't bother me that much since the story is already seen in many more movies. But I enjoyed watching it, it has some unexpected twist elements which I think is executed just fine. Overall, it's a decent movie.
