'70 Big Ones' is a 2018 Spanish bank heist thriller film directed by Koldo Serra which stars Emma Surez, Nathalie Poza and Hugo Silva.
Plot
Set in March 2015 in Bilbao, the plot concerns a bank heist, involving two robbers (the violent Lola and the heroin-addict Jonan) and Raquel, a woman who was at the bank branch desperately asking for a 35,000 credit (70 'binladens'; that is, 70 500 notes) to see her daughter again when the former two break in.
Cast
Production
The screenplay was penned by Javier Flix Echniz, Asier Guerricaechevarra and Juan Antonio Gil Bengoa. '70 Big Ones' is a Sayaka Producciones, Pokeepsie Films and La Panda production, with participation of RTVE, ETB and Movistar+ and support from ICAA.
Release
The film screened at the 51st Sitges Film Festival on 12 October 2018. Distributed by Filmax, it was theatrically released in Spain on 8 March 2019.
Reception
Reviewing for 'Cinemana', Yago Garca scored 3 out of 5 stars, deeming Emma Surez and Nathalie Poza to be the best assets of the film, otherwise dragged by "screeching" plot twists, flashbacks trying to fill in the gaps, explanations coming too early or too late and, "above everything", its ending.
Alberto Bermejo of 'El Mundo's magazine 'Metrpoli', rated the film with 2 out of 5 stars, praising Emma Surez "in her most disturbing role"; the "also unrecognisable" Nathalie Poza, and Hugo Silva, while citing as a negative point "the frustrated ambition to go beyond the thriller".
