La Fortuna' (1x06): the rescue of the treasure provides a satisfying and vibrant ending to the Amenábar series
And we come to the end of the series. ' La Fortuna ' reaches its sixth and last episode on Movistar + consolidating the sensations that we have had during these weeks from the hand of Alejandro Amenábar and Alejandro Hernández .
The odyssey of Álex Ventura and company to get the treasure back to Spain in these fifty minutes find their last obstacles in an episode that, perhaps, is milder (not less effective) than we would have liked.
By the way, from here, spoilers for the end of 'La Fortuna'.
Collect the boxes
Surely when we anticipated in the last episode the last movement of Frank Wild in his tour de force against Ventura and company, we did not imagine that it would be so bland and not very allegorical. That intention to charge for the boxes remains on the screen much less aggressive in its last-play intention than it could.
The feeling is that they have not known very well how to solve the villain. With how well worked and dominated that Stanley Tucci had to Frank Wild throughout the episodes , this last tantrum blurs the character a lot, degrading his status a bit to the "operetta".
Now the greatest enemy is to catch traffic on the way to the airport, in a fight against the clock to weigh and load in time before the adversaries realize that they are leaving with the treasure and trying to get a new loot. A small trucking company that inspires very little confidence also provides a comedic touch to the most tense moment of the episode.
That final act of the episode is somewhat disappointing in the sense that it separates from the comic by lowering, perhaps too much, the action. This moment asks to be much more exciting than it has been. Be careful, in general it works quite well but a satisfactory closure has lacked strength.
