What the critics say

  • The Hollywood ReporterJonathan Holland More than for its storyline or style, 'Alpha' is more valuable as a record of a city in the grip of fear of both its criminals and its government. Read
  • El PeriódicoNando Salvà It is a story full of potential that Mendoza sabotage through a messy direction and a lack of interest for rhythm and narrative concision. Read
  • FotogramasCarlos Loureda Brillante Mendoza spreads out his intelligence from the first moment. It's a successful staging to create a thriller with nerve, energy and tension. Read
