Spanish Thriller “No Rest For The Wicked” Takes Home Six Goya Awards


posterteaser_webErique Urbizu’s exploitation/thriller “No Rest For The Wicked” took home six Goya Awards, Spain’s equivalent of the Oscar. The awards are the main national film awards and the highest honor a movie can receive from that country’s academy. “No Rest” received Best Film, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actor in a Main Role, Best Editing and Best Sound. The movie stars osé Coronado, Rodolfo Sancho, Helena Miquel, Juanjo Artero, Pedro María Sánchez, Nadia Casado, Younes Bachir, Karim El Kerem, Abdel Ali El Aziz, Nasser Saleh, Juan Pablo Schuck, and Eduard Farelo.


Inspector Santos Trinidad, a veteran policeman, drinks too much and works too little. Maybe to forget he was once a model officer at the Intelligence Unit now downgraded to the Missing Persons Unit.
Events turn sour one night and Santos finds himself implicated in a triple homicide in an after-hours club. Santos cleans up the crime scene and starts the hunt for the only witness, who managed to escape. Following the trail of the fugitive witness, Santos discovers a complicated and sordid network of prostitution and drug trafficking that serves to finance a far more sophisticated criminal plan. He is back doing what he does best, although this time he is on his own. The official police investigation begins to tighten the net around him, but Santos has begun his own personal crusade: he finally has the chance to settle his own score.
