Chilean fisherman Leyton (Juan Pablo Sáez) and his co-worker, Modesto (Luis Wigdorsky), are best friends. After Modesto marries the sultry Marta (Siboney Lo), however, it's not long before she grows restless and sets her sights on Leyton. This leads to an affair between Marta and Leyton that threatens more than just her marriage and his friendship with Modesto. As the plot unfurls, Leyton must face up to his actions, which may carry dire consequences.

Director Gonzalo Justiniano beautifully captures the fishing village but never quite captures the story.

Rated: 2.5/4

New York Post

El Leyton never rises above the level of a soap opera, although the steamy sex and Lo's abundant nudity might make it worthwhile for some viewers.

Rated: 2/4

Stephen Holden

New York Times

Does a fine job of building up a sense of dread as its adulterous relationship gathers steam. So it's all the more disappointing when the movie ultimately collapses.

Rated: 2.5/5

Not only in its plot, but also in its male rivalry does El Leyton seem like Harold Pinter's Betrayal set by the sea.

Rated: 3.50/5

Even with all the flaws in the characters (and the filmmaking), we become intrigued.
