El Gangster, el Policía y el Diablo (2019)

If you want to enjoy a fast crime/action, with three great actors, this is the right movie to pick. When a serial killer accidentally chooses a gangstern as his next victim things went south. A cop eager to catch the serial killer is willing to team up with the gangstern and use any kind of method to close the case, the life of these three characters become entangled in a succession of gangstern fight and car chases, like in a cat and mouse game.
The investigative part is managed in a sublime way, ranging between normal and fast-foward scenes that show you the progress of the investigation without stealing time from the action. The pace of the show is very fast, there is no time for character development or for an in-depth analysis of why the serial killer is acting like this, but the combination gangstern/policeman creates amusing and dramatic situations, specially towards the end. Needless to say that the acting is excellent, while the soundtrack is not memorable but it does it’s job being fast and incessant. The ending is epic and poetic.
