One of the better mystery-crime thrillers I've seen in recent memory. Probably the Spanish equivalent of Memories of Murder - its dark tone and social commentary seep through without being too heavy-handed.

Extremely bold words. Not even close to being that great. It's closer to El secreto de sus ojos in terms of quality, and even then a notch below that.
Well i love and own both movies. Downloaded marshland though

Well, it's a good thriller but it's not as good as those movies. I posted my thoughts on it in this thread way back when.

Solid Spanish police thriller set in 1980 during the transition from the Franco regime to a democracy. Two detectives, one a Franco supporter, the other pro-democracy, are put on a shytty job of finding two missing teen girls in the marshes of southern Spain. When the two girls are found murdered, their investigation becomes a lot more important to the redemption-seeking detectives. But the changes from the old regime to the new status quo has left their mark on society as well and gets in their way. The story moves a bit predictably and it's a bit too vague in its implications regarding certain characters (it implies a lot, but rarely strong enough to make you really feel it).

Only in theme/plot - I wouldn't dare say it's equal to 'Memories of Murder' purely as a film - just that operates on the same contrasting detectives whodunit storyline with social commentary as the background.
