drive a truck through. If you just want a rainy Saturday silly action film it's fine.

I watched the whole series and I think it was well-acted, well-written and fast-paced. And the Barcelona locations are nice, too.

and the lead actress is attractive. They do get you wondering what on earth this schoolteacher's background is.

But I had to drop it because the plot was too unrealistic. Also it got very repetitive with the violence.

8. More is less

This is the perfect example of more is less. This could have been a perfectly fine, if somewhat generic, movie by jettisoning a lot of the sub-plots and tightening the focus to the central mystery. Instead, it was stretched out to a limited series with the effect, to use Bilbo Baggins's words "like butter scraped over too much bread."

This seems to me a little less far-fetched than Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible.

one part that amused me was how brutal that kid was, in an amusing way. Beating up that little boy, that sort of thing. What a crazy kid.
