Every one must know the tragedy of the E.T.A. This film talks about this problem with class. The best spanish film for some time. Noriega delivers a stunning performance. YOU MUST SEE.

5.0 out of 5 stars Honest and Captivating Drama, December 13, 2007
By Sven (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) - See all my reviews
'El Lobo' is based on the true story of Txema, a young, idealistic Basque entrepreneur. He's horrified to see the ETA becoming more and more violent, and although he's not involved with them, they involve him for small jobs. He doesn't like it, but to say 'no' to ETA is to say goodbye to your life.

One day he overhears two ETA members as they talk about killing a befriended cab driver in front of his wife and daughter.They say he's a traitor, but all the guy really did was refusing to look the other way when two ETA thugs were stealing a car. Txema is appalled by this and tries to warn the guy.

The secret service finds out about the attack, and they are curious why he risked his own life trying to warn the guy. As Txema tells them he's against the violence and killings they see the ideal opportunity to use him as an undercover 'agent'. He's intelligent, idealistic and what's more; he fits right in - unlike their trained agents.

What follows is a captivating, realistic and honest drama about the nasty politics within ETA as well as the Spanish government. The struggle of one idealistic man and one honest cop against ruthless and power hungry people on either side.

Don't make the mistake in thinking it's an ETA propaganda piece, it's not. It's actually a very honest and moving film that tries to portray things as they are.

Highly recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars ETA are not freedom fighters, April 28, 2006
Okay, I have heard a lot about the film and I'm dying to see it. I think Eduardo Noriega is an amazing actor. The one star is not for the movie but for the review on it. I just have to respond to the other reviewer. What exactly is ETA's story? Blowing up cars and killing innocent people? The Basque are in no way being oppressed in today's Spain. ETA are a small bunch of terrorist radicals that want to impose their ideals on a larger group of people. Just ask the Basque.
