PLOT TWISTS SO MANY PLOT TWISTS... This was amazing, the actors were excellent and the whole thing was so unpredictable. WOW.
I went in totally blind! Hadn't a clue as to what I was in for with this exceptional crime thriller out of Spain brought to us by Writer/Director Oriol Paulo and it turned out to be an incredibly thrilling if not maddening journey to the dark side of the justice system! I'm a total crime geek so this film was made to order!
The plot like the indescretion between two adulterers highlighted in the film escalates after a tragic accident creating the snowball effect from hell, it just keeps growing bigger and darker as the story unfurls until it is completely out of control and there is beaucoup hell to pay as a result!

Brillant geschriebener, toll gespielter und twistvoller Psycho-Thriller, der den Zuschauer von der ersten bis zur letzten Sekunde fesselt. Was für ein fantastischer Film. Das spanische Kino zählt zum faszinierendsten, was der europäische Film zu bieten hat.
Supremely goofy, one of those mysteries where everyone makes the worst possible decision at every turn simply to justify endless absurd twists. At least this sort of thing is funny.
Don't be fooled by the premise that seems painfully familiar in a "this has been done so many times before" way. The payoff is worth it, this thriller will not let you down. Why the title change for English speakers though? The actual title (Contratiempo) translates into "Setback" which fits MUCH better.
Christopher Nolan, under the pressure of backlash from his semi-recent filmé The Dark Knight Rises, has created a Spanish alias in order to trick us into not comparing his filmography or judging his work as too "mainstream." In doing so he has created his pet project, "The Invisible Guest," where, just as in The Prestige, the very essence of WHY the film was made is engraved into the movie's plot. In The Prestige the movie's plot is a stand-in for the creative process that Nolan goes through in making a movie. In his alias filmé, the ploté is a stand in for his alias. The woman that comes to Adrian's defense is the director of this movie...ONLY TO BE REVEALED…
desvendei toda a trama nos primeiros 10 minutos mas o que importa é que é incrível
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t see the big twist of this film coming from at least the halfway point, but there was still enough going on to keep me guessing.
Einer der wenigen spanischen Filme, die ich kenne und ein guter.
Es handelt sich hier um einen wirklich durchweg spannenden und teilweise auch schön gefilmten Thriller.
Gefühlt gibt es mit jedem Handlingsschritt einen kleinen Twist, die mit fast jeder Szene wachsende Masse an Twists ist jedoch nie wirklich nervig oder zu viel.
Obwohl der Film es schafft, die vielen Twists zu schultern gibt es eine andere geoße Schwäche:
Charaktere handeln an manchen Stellen nicht voll und ganz nachvollziehbar.
Dieser Makel verringert das Seherlebnis jedoch nur begrenzt!
Insgesamt ein guter, unterhaltsamer und auch spannender Thriller.
8/10

I would never guess that many plot twits on this film. OMG the acting, more important the stortytelling and direction are phenomenal!!! AMAZING movie really!!! So glad that I watched it. For more Spanish movies like this one.
Lateral thinking: Solving problems through an indirect and creative approach, using reasoning that is not immediately obvious and involving ideas that may not be obtainable by using only traditional step-by-step logic.
I first saw The Invisible Guest at Fantastic Fest in 2016 and was completely floored. I thought a rewatch wouldn’t be nearly as effective as my initial viewing but seeing it in a different light only increased my love and appreciation for Paulo’s delivery of this crime thriller. Mind-blowing stuff. I can’t wait to see what he brings next.
Worth noting: Fernando Velázquez’s original score is hypnotizing. Love it.
