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.
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.
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!
Once Ms. Goodman (Ana Wagener) the…
PLOT TWIST!!! PLOT TWIST!!! PLOT TWIST!!! PLOT TWIST!!! PLOT TWIST!!! PLOT TWIST!!! PLOT TWIST!!! PLOT TWIST!!!
The ending!!!! Omfg!!! The ending!!!
I didn't expect the ending to be like that. And yeah acting and the storyline is so fucking good.
(P.s I love Mario Casas :v)
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.
Lots of crazy plot twists here (the third act is pure nonsense) but the most unbelievable thing is the idea that a woman as intelligent and beautiful as Laura would ever get involved with this fuckboi protagonist. Please. Honestly, it's becoming increasingly unbelievable to me when I watch movies and I witness a woman do something reckless for a man and that man is not played by Mads Mikkelsen. If it's for Mads, sure. But if not? Bitch, why?
Oriol Paulo's previous thriller The Body is much better than this.
I've seen this movie on Netflix after seeing its high rating on IMDb and more or less I understand why many people liked it so much, I think because of its many twist but, honestly, I disagree with the general opinion.
What I always expect, before watching a thriller, is the tension and involvement and these two requirements to judge a thriller as good, this movie does not have them.
The problems I have encountered are really many, especially in the script, that is a particularly important aspect in such a movie, which is unlikely and with some absurd parts; There are too many ingenuity that destroy the paper castle that the film tries to create, the dialogs are in…
Thank God i wasn't active on letterboxd when i watched this movie because i couldn't stop talking about it for weeks. I got people around me EXHAUSTED, i made at least five friends watch it. They all loved, by the way.
