Fatum is a 2023 Spanish-French thriller film directed by Juan Galiñanes from a screenplay by Alberto Marini and Galiñanes which stars Álex García, Luis Tosar, Arón Piper, Luisa Mayol, and Elena Anaya.
Ludomaniac Sergio attends a gambling house to recover his lost money upon learning about a rumour concerning a purported fixed football fixture result which turns out to be true, but armed Alejo assaults the place. National Police agent Costa tasks GEO sniper Pablo, in a dire personal situation, to serve during the robbing attempt.[1]
The screenplay was penned by Juan Galiñanes and Alberto Marini.[1] The film was produced by Vaca Films alongside Playtime Productions, and it had the participation of RTVE, Amazon, TVG and support from ICAA and Agadic.[4][5] Shooting locations in Galicia included A Coruña.[6] Lu Rodríguez worked as film editor and Manuel Riveiro was responsible for the score, whilst Alejandro de Pablo lensed the film.[7]
Distributed by Universal Pictures International Spain,[7] the film was released theatrically in Spain on 28 April 2023.[5]
Juan Pando of Fotogramas rated Fatum 3 out of 5 stars, deeming it to be a "good spectacle" owing to a "a well-squared script, with well-defined characters, unusual yet plausible situations and a well-dosed increasing suspense leading towards an uncertain denouement", while decrying the makeup and hairdressing of Tosar's character.[8]
Raquel Hernández Luján of HobbyConsolas rated Galiñanes' debut with 73 points ('good'), deeming it to be a "very satisfying" film thanks to the social criticism vis-à-vis betting shops, the "magnificent" performances by Anaya and García and a script "that keeps you gripped until the last minute", while citing how Tosar's character becomes very obnoxious, with "no possibility of empathizing with him", as a negative point.[9]
