is a 2025 thriller film directed by Rafael Cobos (in his feature-length directorial debut) and co-written by Cobos alongside Fernando Navarro. The cast is led by Luis Tosar and Jesús Carroza.
Set in Seville in the 1980s, the film explores the clash between two brothers pitted against each other at opposite sides of the law, criminal Migueli and cop Sabino.
Commenting about the project, Cobos stated that it is "all about committing to revitalising el cine quinqui, delving deeper into their very essence, albeit while striving to be different", while also concerning about a country in transition. He however also explained that in the end, the film had more of the "American cinema of the 1970s, or the French polar". The original screenplay was written by Cobos alongside Fernando Navarro. The film is a Vaca Films production alongside Grupo Tranquilo and Playtime, and it had the participation of Movistar Plus+, RTVE, and Canal Sur and the backing from ICAA, Junta de AndalucÃÂa, and Creative Europe MEDIA. Sergi Vilanova ClaudÃÂn worked as cinematographer.
Shooting locations included Alcalá de GuadaÃÂra.
Golpes had its world premiere at the 70th Valladolid International Film Festival (Seminci) on 26 October 2025. It was also programmed in the slate of the 22nd Seville European Film Festival.
A Contracorriente Films released the film theatrically in Spain on 5 December 2025. The Paris-based company Playtime acquired international sales.
Luis MartÃÂnez of El Mundo rated Golpes 4 out of 5 stars, declaring it a film "admirable in its ambition, feverish in every step it takes, and thrilling to the point of exhaustion".
Javier Ocaña of El PaÃÂs described Cobos' "distinguished" debut as "film about the physical defeat of two losers, and of the Spain that gave birth to them".
Raquel Hernández Luján of HobbyConsolas gave the film 70 points, positively mentioning the character design, the performances, and the setting, while negatively mentioning the lack of credibility of the overly spectacular action scenes contaminated by cliches imported from the U.S. film industry.
