This kind of topic and scheme is usually produced by the Italian film industry. But this time, we deal with a Daniel Calparsoro's movie. I have already seen some of his; except the huge INSIDERS deception, I was satisfied with his filmography. GUERREROS and INVASOR. So this one is pretty good and surprising. Good directing and. I like the lead female character, far more than the men's ones. She is tougher and more powerful than them together. Poignant final for this good Spanish crime movie.

Looks like an Italian film
Average...
"Sky High" is an Action - Crime movie in which we watch a man trying to gain a higher position on Spanish society with shortcuts and some illegal activities. He will face many difficulties and obstacles on his way but he won't stop.
I liked the whole concept of the movie but there were many plot holes that were created on the way that were never answered. In addition to this, there was only one point in the movie that presented how much time passed but more points like this needed in order for the audience to better understand the plot and their characters bonding. The direction which was made by Daniel Calparsoro was below average for all the previous reasons and he did not succeed on making us relate to his main characters. The interpretations of Miguel Herrán who played as Ángel, Luis Tosar who played as Rogelio and Carolina Yuste who played as Estrella were good but not good enough to save the movie. Finally, I have to say that "Sky High" is an average movie and I do not recommend anyone to watch it.

Those based on real facts that enchant us, but with fictional characters, however are acts and facts that could happen in any city in the world, big fish, using small fish to hunt sharks ... I liked it, a very engaging plot, the charisma of the protagonist is as strong as the channeling of his character, the anti-hero, and the worst that we find ourselves rooting for the egocentric Robin Hood ... #Rio.
