PLOT TWISTS SO MANY PLOT TWISTS... This was amazing, the actors were excellent and the whole thing was so unpredictable. WOW.
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…
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.
MOVIE RECOMMENDED BY abrilmayo
It's a surprisingly good and entertaining Spanish thriller that was capable to get me glued to the screen during the 106 minutes it lasts.
It's about a rich married man that has a lover, an afternoon, while driving with her in the car, they have a crash, after that, they find themselves involved in a murder.
It has such an original premise, don't get fooled, it isn't as simple as it apparently looks like, it's out of the ordinary, there are some shots that I liked, so its cinematography was great, I also liked the script and the performances of each actor, developing interesting characters that give a good shape to the movie. The best thing is…
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.
Gripping and through out intriguing suspense thriller with some good performances.
Not going to say much except - Must Watch.
This was worth every single twist. Every single one had an immense weight hitting you in the chest as if the weight on the shoulders of the characters were taken off and tossed onto the audience. All their burdens and stresses passed onto us.
You may find this cheesy, overplayed, comical, but this is original genius content.
As a reviewer said The Prestige of Crime Thrillers.
Beautiful Direction, Writing, Color Grading, Cinematography, perfect performances.
I love the way they enunciate the Spanish language.
The homage to The Overlook Hotel. The fucking drama, the lies!
When it comes to movies that I would have never heard if it wasn't for people reviewing it in here, there's not a movie that encapsulates this better than CONTRATIEMPO aka The Invisible Guest. And after times of putting it back, I finally got to watch it and all I can say: thank you for the headaches -.-
This is one of those movies where you can simply skip the really good performances, the great cinematography and its use of temperature to distinguish a flashback of current times - because the truth is none of it matters, this, like a "Predestination" or Agatha Christie novel, the story is the most important element of the movie. This is also its often…
recommend me movies - #1
it was okay but i did find it predictable at times. i wouldn’t actively recommend but it’s an easy watch if you’re bored
Holy shit. Fantastic acting. Great color scale. The story is consistent and campy at times. I love it. 91/100
I can't stop seeing mario casas as the creepy guy from The Paramedic, thus i did not trust a word he said and it kind of dampened the experience lol
the ending of this movie left me speechless. totally fucked me up. the twists and turns surprise every you time and somehow this dont feel like a plot twist fest and dont feel annoying at all. a true hidden gem.
eu amo filme de mistério e esse é ótimo pra quem gosta, as atuações são ótimas, direção também me agradou muito. o roteiro é bom mas ele tem muitos plots twits no meio e talvez isso incomode ou deixe você confuso (o que foi o meu caso algumas vezes), mesmo assim vale a pena e o final é um murro no pote *apesar de ser meio previsível*
Lots of decent twists while making great time. Spanish movies on this imdb list seem to be pretty consistent.
The twists just dont stop! Wow wow wow!!!! Movie just gets better and better as it goes on, might have to check out more cinema from spain 🤔🔥
