Stockholm Film Festival

Finally, Spanish women get their revenge onmachismos and brutal gangsters. Fed up withbeing kicked around and abused by men, fourwomen - played by some of Spain's biggest stars,including Victoria Abril - take up the fight againstthe Mexican mafia in Agustín Díaz Yanes' JUSTWAL KING . What they want is money and revenge,and what you get is not your average CHARLIE'SANGELS movie; it is Quentin Tarantino meetsCHARLIE'S ANGELS in the brutal world of NewMexican Cinema. With a crisscrossing narrative ofdouble-crossing deceit, Diaz Yanes stretches thestylistic boundaries of action, comedy and drama.

The film takes us from Spain to Mexico, wherethe four women are reunited after a bank robberygone wrong. One of the women has married acrime boss whose business becomes the maintarget in the plot-turning orgy of violence andsex that follows. JUST WALKING is an excitingthriller, but most of all it is an intriguing web offrustrated actions by a group of individuals whonever got anything for free in life.
