A brisk 2 hours


The Realm (2018)

Directed by Rodrigo Sorogoyen this film also known as “The Candidate” stars Antonio de la Torre, Monica Lopez and Josep Maria Pou. A corrupt politician who thought he was next in line to the throne finds himself being scapegoated by his co-conspirators.

I am not sure if this was because this is a foreign language film or because of the pace of the plot but at times I found it really hard to keep up with things. It takes a long time to build but we do finally get to a point where the protagonist has to do some self reflection even if the conclusion is stolen from us. Not the best political thriller I have seen but watchable.

3/5
