Plot
In the heart of Colombia, a chilling countdown begins for José Gutierrez, the son of a prominent banker, who is held captive by ruthless kidnappers. The pendulum of fate swings in real-time, with a mere 90 minutes left to deliver the ransom, or José faces a tragic end. As the tension mounts, the narrative delves into a captivating maze of past and present, revealing José's life in New York with his American girlfriend and the rekindled flame of his old love, Luiza, back in his homeland.
The Gutierrez family, caught in the throes of desperation, turns to an ex-FBI agent, a seasoned expert in abduction cases. José's father, Carlos, however, walks a treacherous path, striking a dangerous deal with the devil himself, the formidable drug baron, Umberto Pompeo, in a desperate bid to gather the ransom money.
But time, like a cunning adversary, plays its tricks. The suitcase filled with the hefty ransom is stuck in a nerve-wracking race against the clock, with traffic acting as an unwanted hindrance. Meanwhile, a troop of armed commandos, equipped with deadly precision, ventures into the lion's den, hoping to locate and rescue José.
The movie offers a riveting exploration of various facets of Colombia - a potent cocktail of cash, narcotics, firearms, fraught bargains, mercenaries, displaced farmers, and the ominous shadow of death. As the climax approaches, the question remains: Will José Gutierrez be saved as the final minutes of his ransom deadline tick away? 'Towards Darkness' paints a vivid picture of a family's desperate struggle for survival, set against the backdrop of the gritty underbelly of Colombian society.
