not yetwith an adult, or to talk about afteralonethe sweet spot

Alone from 10; from 9, with an adult or by talking about it afterwards.

The sweet spot: around 15-17, when you can follow a talky thriller without losing the thread, and are interested in state secrets. Why a sweet spot?

In France, zinema would say 14.

What it's about

Four Spanish ex-intelligence officers are assassinated simultaneously worldwide. The CNI discovers all participated in the covert "Operation Ciénaga" decades ago in Colombia. Zeta, the CNI's best operative, must hunt and protect the sole survivor, facing his deadliest global mission yet. Top Colombian agent Alfa will join Zeta, seemingly knowing more about "Ciénaga"'s secrets than him.

Why 10

An old massacre, serial assassinationsFour former spies killed on the same day, an 1980s operation in Colombia recounted as a massacre; more than two minutes of gunfire, an extraction under fire in which an agent is killed. The word "death" comes up more than fifty times in the dialogue.
Torture and woundsMen held at gunpoint on their knees, a wounded agent treated with bare hands, blood mentioned at every stage. A suggested couple's scene, no nudity.
A lot of swearing, cigarettes and alcoholAbout fifty swear words in French, cigarettes in almost every scene, wine and beers, a mention of drugs.

What the movie brings

A spy film about forgotten state crimes and those who pay the price thirty years later.
An agent who lives several lives and owns none: the price of that job.
Madrid, Tallinn and Colombia, a Spanish thriller that makes a change from American productions.

Watching it together

Before

Say beforehand that the film is dark, talky and violent at times; it asks you to accept a lot of names and dates.

After

at 10 and up

Zeta learns he must protect a man who took part in a massacre: should you save someone you do not respect?
