Absolutely superb twisty turney thriller. Stella acting, beautifully filmed and for a ‘whodunit' surprisingly worth a 3rd and 4th viewing. The casting is great. Loved it. Everyone I know who has watched in on recommendation loved it too. Best in Spanish with the subtitles. Don't fancy the lazy dubbed version unless you have trouble generally with the subtitles.

Filme: Um Contra Tempo Assistido: 2-12-23 Elenco: @mario_houses @barbaralennie @anawagener @_jose_coronado @sanyelamos @cesc_orella Modelo: #misterio #suspense #crime Duração: 1h 46m Ano: 2016 Minha opinião: Como sempre eu digo, gosto de filmes inteligentes e que nos impacte. Filmes como este lembra um anime chamdo Conan o Detetive ou Sherlock ou Poriot. Tudo começa com Doria, um executivo bem sucedido e sua esposa e família. Porem para apimentar a vida ele tem uma amante, Laura. E o filme começa com Doria acordando em um quarto de hotel com Laura assassinada no meio de muitas notas de dólar. E o principal suspeito é Doria. E para advogada ele contrata Elvira. Tudo começa com o casal de pombinhos saindo de mais um momento de muito amor. E neste momento acabam se acidentando e matando uma moça. E para esconder tudo, começam a armar uma forma de encontrar o corpo e guardar o segredo do casal amante. Sabe aquela estoria de que a bola de neve só vai amentando e exatamente isso que acontece. A cada tentativa de resolver ou emcobrir o problema, acaba ocasionando outro e mais outro. E assim vai desenrolando toda a estoria e vai nos envolvendo e envolvendo mais e mais. Até chegar ao final onde uma grande descoberta será revelada. Filme inteligente e isso pode ser realizado, sem nenhum nome de STAR de Hollywood ou diretor STAR. Roteiro e enredo muito inteligente. Parabéns. Com boas interpretações dos atores. Vale apena assistir? Sim, principalmente para quem curte um belo suspense. Nota: 8,25

Here is a mystery/thriller from Spain worthy of Hitchcock. Careful attention will keep the viewer riveted with enough twists & turns aplenty. Although there is one plot hole early on that might easily be missed (by the police investigating a murder) & would have resolved the mystery sooner, the film is basically free of inconsistencies & holds one attention all the way to…fear not, no spoilers here! The casting is also clever in defying one's expectations as to at least concerning one of the central characters & the performances are expert in deceiving the audience - up to a point. I knew nothing regarding this film before picking it up at the local library & it is well worth seeing.

La película es un thriller psicológico en la que ni un segundo vas a querer mirar el celular, porque no vas a querer perderte de ningún detalle. It's amazing!

If you are interested in a crime drama to spend a night alone with, then this would be a very, very good choice.

Rated: 8.5/10

The result, despite the presence... Jos Coronado or Brbara Lennie, can only be qualified by one word: derailment. [Full review in Spanish]

The assured, at times bombastic direction, as well as the passionate performances, help distract from the more implausible aspects of the plot.

It's always good when a film sells improbability, but without harrassing the audience, especially if doesn't advance almost nothing in its plot regarding its approach. [Full review in Spanish]
