The Whistlers - 2019 - 6/10
AKA - La Gomera

Convoluted, confused, baffling mystery set in the Canary Islands.
Romanian cop, Cristi, disembarks the ferry and begins shuttling between local police and local crime lord.
High level smuggling is ongoing, a convict needs to be sprung (because he knows where €30 M is stashed).
Supposedly undercover, Cristi proves more bent than a paper clip.
At least, that’s my take. The narrative bounces and jumps, blundering into incoherence at times.
Relationships are murky and poorly explained.
Dialogue is in Spanish, English, Romanian, and “whistling”.
And yes, the film is also a how-to, as there are lessons on learning and improving your skills there.
