Rich's Rating:

3 out of 5

4 out of 5

Key Performances:

  Maricel Álvarez
  Javier Bardem
  Diaryatou Daff
  Eduard Fernández
  Barcelona Underworld
Movie Haiku:Dying man struggles to wrap up loose ends. Rich was touched by Bardem's performance as a big-hearted low-life seeking redemption, & he also loved cinematography & sound track. Alas, Jan (who generally applauds Inarritu) found this whole film tedious & way too melodramatic.
