Amazing initial sequence and music. The film centers so much on its main character that sometimes forgets about the story, still extremely captivating. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 8/10 | Aug 30, 2020

The film makes it clear about a third of the way through that it's interested in the 'how' instead of the 'why.' It's just that the 'how' isn't fascinating.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 25, 2020

Lorenzo Ferro anchors the film with his portrayal of Carlos Puch, but his performance is beautifully understated.

I feel it empty, artificial and somewhat predictable. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 17, 2020

The form and content never really jibe, but this might get under your skin anyway.

| Mar 23, 2020

Ortega's energetic style means the character's hedonistic crime spree is never less than luridly entertaining.

| Jan 13, 2020

The film has as a first recommendation the wonderful interpretation of Lorenzo Ferro in the leading role. [Full Review in Spanish]

Though it suffers from a bit of a self-indulgent runtime, it's inherently a highly engaging portrait of a young man entirely devoid of a conscious and the people who enable his grizzly escapades.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 29, 2019

The filmmakers tell their story at a fast clip, making good use of classic '70s rock and psychedelia to maintain a relentless vibe.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 26, 2019

The film regrettably retains too much ambiguity. [Full Review in Spanish]

The exemplary cast lifts this film to great heights. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 4, 2019

Too little of "El Angel" escapes a second-hand, been-there, killed-that feeling.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 10, 2019

Captivatingly nasty.

| Dec 20, 2018

The full story has been sacrificed in the service of maintaining the balance between horror and fascination. And Ferro really has created a fascinating screen character.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 5, 2018

Although the characters aren't sympathetic, the film benefits from stylish period visuals, subtle treatment of its homoerotic subtext, and charismatic performances.

| Nov 30, 2018

Ferro's superb performance makes it a highly worthwhile ride.

| Original Score: B | Nov 17, 2018

The film is well done in establishing its mood. However, it never succeeds in keeping the characters interesting.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 16, 2018

At one point, a filmmaker must draw a line in the sand so his audience knows how to react. This movie dances across such a line until it is no longer there.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 16, 2018

The gang's crimes are unsettling, but the movie's not gruesome.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 16, 2018

I found that I did not want to know about the young Angel of Death, keeping the film at arm's length with its sordid real-life story.

| Original Score: C+ | Nov 15, 2018
