In a squalid working-class cafe located in a barrio somewhere in Madrid, hard-working single mother Ana struggles to make ends meet as a bartender, living a simple and routine life with her only son. Patiently, for the past eight long years, Ana has been waiting for her criminal boyfriend Curro's release, while in the meantime, the unassuming and gentle Jose has already become a regular customer spending a lot of time in her cafe, quite obviously in fond of her. And then, one day, Curro is finally released, still violent and resentful after his long-lasting incarceration, threatening not only Ana's peace but also her tentative and fragile romance with Jose. Eventually, having no other choice but to escape, Ana will accept Jose's offer to live with her son in his secluded cottage, completely unaware though of quiet Jose's inscrutable and utterly impelling motives.

| User ReviewFab GRaul Arévalo, el protagonista de la ganadora del Goya el año pasado "La isla Mínima". Dirige esta, "Tarde para la ira" la ganadora de este año, y los Goya siguen demostrando su amor al Thriller y a su publico. |
| User ReviewRangan RGoya award for best movie. Tense, cruel, raw, violent, it takes no prisoners. |
| User ReviewJosè MUno de los mejores thrillers españoles sobre la venganza de los ùltimos años. |
| User ReviewMark KIt is not a Hollywood thriller movie and when it starts nothing suggests what is about to come: a gory quest for ruthless revenge. The performances, especially that of la Torre, are minimalistic but utterly convincing and expressive. When it all comes to the end one is left with the lingering feeling of satisfaction and slight bewilderment. Three stars would be too little and perhaps four are a little too much but three and a half feel not enough. |
| User ReviewMartin GLe cinéma espagnol devient de plus en plus intéressant et Tarde Para La Ira ne manque pas de s'ajouter aux bons films que produit l'Espagne. Le film est très bien construit du début à la fin et les personnages sont particulièrement crédible ce qui donne au final un très bon thriller tout en ayant un certain côté western "moderne". |
| User ReviewJesse OSlow-paced, the reveals aren't very shocking, the characters have no real depth and not enough action to be entertaining. |
