The photographer of war Teo Arroyo (Diego Martín) returns to his hometown and meets his girlfriend Victoria (Goya Toledo) in a hotel. However, two men break in his room, one to kill him and the other to protect him and Victoria is also shot and dies. Before dying, his protector asks him to hide. When Teo goes to his home, he finds that his dog Zeus was also murdered.
Teo meets a young woman, Miryam (Ana Claudia Talancón), who helps him to hide from the police detectives and from the killers that are hunting him down. Teo finds that a sect is killing the thirty people that have been chosen by God to protect the world and he is the last chosen one alive. Will Teo escape from the religious organization?
"El Último Justo" is a religious thriller with a predictable and unoriginal story. There are no surprises in neither in the twists nor in the conclusion. My vote is five.

Decent spiritual thriller with thrills , chills and the action moments are fast moving and compactly realized , including functional special effects . This is an effective and interesting mystery thriller with graphic violence and action filled that will enjoy the action buffs . It results to be exciting because of its rich analysis about the evil and goodness represented by the guardians of the Apocalypse , The Just , including a final judgement to depend on their survival . Starred by Diego Martin as a war photographer who suffers a hot pursuit in which he is both the cause and the objective. And a nice support cast such as Ana Claudia Talancon , Federico Luppi , Brian Thompson , Raul Nuñez , Antonio Dechent as an stubborn police inspector and a brief role by Goya Toledo .
It displays a colorful and dark cinematography by Javier Salmones , a professional cameraman who has photographed notorious titles as Romasanta, Matar el tiempo, Martes Carnaval , Finisterre , Capitan Trueno y Santo Grial . And a frightening and moving musical score by Zacarias De Riva who has composed important and successful scores : Hierro , Machinist , Automata , Tadeo Jones , Bent and Black snow . Being competently produced by the Spanish prestigious "Filmax" production ,expert on terror/ Mystery movies : Carlos Fernandez , Julio Fernandez and Sandra Fernandez . This Spanish/Mexican coproduction was well written and directed by Manuel Carballo , though it has a few gaps . He has directed shorts , documentary and TV movies such as : Returned , Possession of Emma Evans , 13 Miedos and Reinas Tv series . Rating : 6/10 . Acceptable and passable mysterious movie . Well worth watching .
