Our take

Beginning as positively Hitchcockian in both premise and Saul Bass-inspired opening credits, Common Wealth is an altogether more surprising dark comedy from Álex de la Iglesia. Bloody slapstick, a showdown across Madrid rooftops, and a Darth Vader mask-wearing pervert: this film has it all.
