Film over de legendarische Spaanse matador Manuel Rodríguez Sánchez (Adrien Brody), beter bekend als ‘Manolete’, en zijn liefdesrelatie met actrice Lupe Sino (Penélope Cruz), in de jaren ’40. Hun populariteit kende geen grenzen al lag het paar onderling voortdurend in de clinch, ondermeer door Manolete’s niet ongevaarlijke beroep. (Independent Films)

I was pretty surprised to see Santiago Segura toned down from his usual wild persona, playing a more solid guy here. Penélope Cruz looked stunning as always, and I totally get why Adrien Brody’s character, a toreador, was so taken by her. But honestly, Brody is probably the most boring toreador I've ever seen. Even Penélope's character says it early on in the film, and she doesn’t really do much to help lift the story either. Overall, it's just a dull and uninteresting mess.
