Biggest Swing

Sharp drop from the financial crisis backdrop (6.7) to the predictable climax (5.4), then significant recovery with the real corruption footage ending (7.1).

The Courier starts solidly and builds effectively through Iván's criminal ascent, peaking during the stylish Marbella sequences that critics praised for authenticity and visual appeal. The film stumbles in its conventional climax but recovers with a powerful documentary ending that resonated strongly with reviewers.
