Tak! reviewed Velvet Was the Night by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Velvet Was the Night
3 stars
Velvet Was the Night is a little like if the video game Revolution 1979: Black Friday was written as a Tarantino screenplay.
It's loosely based on El Halconazo, and follows El Elvis, a member of Los Halcones, and Maite, a bored legal secretary, as they get tangled up in its aftermath.
It didn't really draw me in, I kind of kept waiting for the real story to start, but it felt like it never did.
