context and comparison with other thrillers
In contrast to “Shadow Force”, another Colombian thriller from Carlos Moreno illuminates the dark world of crime in Santiago de Cali. In this film, which revolves around the vengeful mafia patriarch El Orejón, the story is shaped by violent retaliation files and supernatural elements. El Orejón, embodied by Eusebio Benitez, is looking for the killer of his sponsor and uses a voodoo priestess to have the murderer curses. All of this happens, while internal conflicts and power games between the characters ensure additional tension.Both films show different facets of the thriller genre and illustrate the cultural and dramatic differences between action and psychological intensity in Colombian cinema. “Shadow Force” relies more on international stars and spectacular action, while Moreno's work dives deep into the conflicts and emotions of Colombian society and illuminated the different motivations of the characters and the serious consequences of their deeds.

While “Shadow Force” is based on the international audience, Moreno's film remains anchored in a regional context and captures another spiritual and emotional expression.
