Sam besitzt die Gabe, anderen Menschen ihr Glück zu rauben. Als einziger Überlebender eines Konzentrationslagers ist er der Stärkste in einer Gruppe von Menschen mit dieser Fähigkeit. Sie messen ihr Glück in lebensgefährlichen Spielen und vereinen so das Glück ihrer Kontrahenten auf sich. Die Besten stellen sich beim Russischen Roulette dem ultimativen Duell mit Sam. Doch niemand hat mehr Glück als Sam. Als der Gangster Tomas als einziger einen schweren Flugzeugabsturz überlebt, scheint sich doch noch ein ebenbürtiger Gegner für Sam zu finden. (Verleiher-Text)

Well, the desire to go jogging in the woods pretty much passed me by, but not so much because of THAT scene as because this film was so tedious that it made me disinclined to do any other activity. It's a shame that only the premise was took off to the skies of originality and not the rest.

It is a great pity that such a promising thriller concept, which could have been used in almost any genre (especially sci-fi, which would suit it the most), has been diluted into a surprisingly uninteresting drama, where the viewer can only dream of interesting characters. I was particularly bothered by the screenwriter's impersonal approach to the characters throughout the first half, as a result of which the catharsis did not feel like a culmination, but rather as a liberation from boredom. From experience, we know that a good mystery thriller can be created in Spanish cinema, but this certainly is not one of them.

Fresnadillo is talented, no question about it. Yet I didn't understand that until I saw his next film. I don't see how 28 Weeks Later can be brimming with utterly brilliant momentum when this first feature is based on a great idea that's buried by an incredibly dead pace and a complete lack of empathy for all the characters. The day after watching it, all I remember is the famous sprint through the forest, which is too little for 105 minutes.
