Plot: Yearning to leave his poverty-stricken past behind, Angel’s life is changed forever as he meets the ravishing Estrella. In fighting for her affection, he quickly discovers a new talent of sorts: getting himself into trouble and getting out with style. Skilled and savvy, he swiftly moves up the ranks in his new-found life of crime, but with a tireless police detective stopping at nothing to put him behind bars, Angel must choose: a thrilling new lifestyle, or the love of his life? A commentary on Spanish society dressed as a thriller about the misadventures of a gang of young petty criminals after the real estate crash.


My Movie Review: The movie is all over the place watching it with an open mind made it a bit interesting but trying to gap the pieces for the story to make a sense just hideous and complex! Sky High is story of a young man's criminal coming of age, it combines heist movie suspense and double and triple crosses with a heaping helping of romance few misinterpret but its good:) If you're one of the millions of Money Heist fans, Netflix's new Spanish crime thriller Sky High will definitely scratch your itch and a familiar face will lead the way personally I'd say it had the perfect heist feel throughout the entire movie definitely hit a lot of my checkmarks, they could have done well to explain a few things better yet every twist wasn't that much of a surprise but it was still a surprise none-the-less the actors were really good, the music perfect nice to hear:) Even the film's most ingenious heist, armored cars on a ferry, isn't handled with the sort of snap, crackle and pop you expect from a thriller these days still deliver a blood pumping action!

Movie News: Sky High hits all the right notes for a heist movie just like Money Heist- the crew, the plan, the job, the getaway. Also: the double crosses. Add in solid writing and some great character development, your movie night has next watch booked. Sky High is artfully crafted, condensing Angel’s expansive, as years-long criminal career into easily consumable packets. There are two heist set pieces that feature the right amounts of a precision timing, abruptly expended brawn, and audacious exit strategy requisite for any heist film. Its part aspirational daydream, part star-crossed love story, part high-end heist thriller, and part cautionary tale, Sky High has more than enough to keep everyone interested, even as its double and triple crosses start to muddy up the works as it puts the narrative pedal to the metal toward the end. Slick, well-acted, and assured of itself from start to finish, it’s no wonder Netflix is scheming to put this heist thriller into prestige television franchise mode as leads burns with palpable chemistry!
