Zafarinas

About This Movie

So, 'Zafarinas' is an interesting ride. It’s not your typical thriller, but it has this unique atmosphere that wraps around you like a fog. The walled city setting is almost a character in itself, lending a claustrophobic tension that complements the story. Jorge Sanz brings a solid performance, leaning into the corporal's struggle, and the dynamic with the young prisoner feels genuine. The pacing can be a touch uneven, but that adds to the overall unease. The action sequences are practical, not overly reliant on CGI, which gives them a raw edge. Plus, the themes of trust and redemption weave through the narrative, making it a bit more than just a whodunit, y'know?
