Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media The choices are deliberate, creating a kind of color version of film noir, complete with the dread and fear of annihilation. Rated: 3/5 Feb 7, 2023 Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine A by-the-book detective thriller, Infiesto pays homage to Nic Pizzolatto's mythical series' True Detective and succeeds in entertaining and putting the viewer on the edge of their seat... [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 7/10 Feb 6, 2023 Full Review Lori C. Ready Steady Cut If a standard crime thriller with a relatively engaging story and a soothingly familiar formula are what you’re after, this movie delivers. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 6, 2023 Full Review Chris Joyce Movies and Munchies (YouTube) The acting is decent with characters that are brooding and slightly mysterious, and the lore that’s introduced lends itself to becoming dark and twisted, but the lack of time spent delving into the lore reduces any uneasiness and deeper mystery. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 3, 2023 Full Review Mikel Zorrilla Espinof On the one hand, it offers a harrowing atmosphere and a case that is engaging enough to make the movie fly by. On the other... it feels like the movie is riding the brakes. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Feb 3, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Jeff M This was a bit too predictable with a bit too much of the overhead drone camera work. Someone has been watching too much Wallander me thinks. It starts off okay but loses its way after...10mins. At one point in the movie, one of the detectives (a main character) tries to get information from one of the suspects and out of frustration, tries to intimidate him with suffocation with a plastic bag and then when the suspect says he'll never confess, the detective shoots him in the thigh. At that point his superior intervenes and suspends him...but I thought it was an ideal opportunity to suspend the movie..but alas it continued to an obvious conclusion re- main villain. There were no twists or significant suspense moments...but there were some moments of over the top violence...if that appeals. So, not a comedy, but not sure what it was. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/12/23 Full Review Eoin K Like a few comments here, poor film.....waiting for a twist that never came (or obvious when it came). The scene where a cop goes down a mineshaft in a lift alone despite 10-20 colleague's nearby was just annoying. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/25/23 Full Review Joe S Setting the story in the first days of Spain's Covid lockdown accentuates the movie's atmosphere of mortal fear. The plot unfolds through a solid script, believable actors, and adroit directing. If you liked the first season of "True Detective," this film is for you. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/28/23 Full Review edward h Don't exactly know what all the negativity was about but I truly enjoyed this movie. Had all the ingredients of a good thriller: engrossing, suspenseful, gritty and an unexpected climax! The mood, setting and cinematography were excellent. Truly loved it!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/03/23 Full Review Ghabryell Sinceramente, esse filme é tão ruim que nem nota merece. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/31/23 Full Review Late R A narrative mess, ‘Infiesto' manages to be both cliché and confusing, presenting a story that will seem very familiar to fans of the thriller genre, but also adds details that feel like they've been shoe-horned in for no reason and end up making little sense – worse still, they actually end up acting as a distraction. It's a shallow film that doesn't explore anything in depth, instead relying on its grim atmosphere to carry it along. All aspects come together to make it near impossible to care about anything or anyone which, ultimately, leaves you wholly unaffected by the time the credits role. There's a good film in there somewhere, or at least an entertaining one, but this ain't it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
