Jonathan Holland The Hollywood Reporter Slickly packaged but unsatisfying. Mar 30, 2018 Full Review Alix Turner Ready Steady Cut Atmospheric Spanish thriller about a man who recognises a pattern in gun-crimes at a particular location; and a boy who is warned he will die on his tenth birthday. Rated: 3/5 Feb 1, 2021 Full Review John Tones Espinof A sentimental approach to topics like bullying or euthanasia is more valuable than a tragedy that crosses the logic of time and space. Jul 25, 2019 Full Review Víctor López G. Espinof Its narrative pulse and the magnetism of some of its passages are buried by a predictability that will ruin the experience. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 24, 2019 Full Review Fausto Ponce Proceso The charm of the film relies on its dramatic structure, which leaves out the background and motivations of the characters. [Full Review in Spanish] May 30, 2019 Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media Bullying, cursing, violence in Spanish thriller. Rated: 3/5 Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member spoiler alert, this would be a 9 if the kid died, I was not expecting for Jon to be the one to write the letter and when it got revealed that he should die instead of David my jaw DROPPED. Talking through a mirror, traveling in time? Ruined it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Diego R tiene buen final, no entiendo las otras reseñas que lo puntúan mal, en sí, si logra tenerte atrapado en la historia todo el tiempo Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/27/23 Full Review Wolfgang G Die Warnung ist ein Mystery-Thriller von Daniel Calparsoro (Regie), der auf dem gleichnamigen Roman von Paul Pen basiert... Der zehnjährige Nico erhält einen Drohbrief und sein Leben ist in Gefahr… Eine überraschende und ergreifende Geschichte mit zwei Handlungssträngen, die gut inszeniert und gespielt ist… Trotz kleiner Mängel sehenswert. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/16/23 Full Review Late R Although it has an interesting (although completely far-fetched) idea and is well-shot, it's clear that the writers didn't know how to expand it into something clever, new, or exciting. Instead, ‘The Warning' plods along until it reaches its predictable ending that is a little disappointing. Not a bad time-waster, but quite mediocre in its execution. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/22 Full Review joe m "The Warning" is taut, engaging and well acted suspense-thriller from Spain. And, unlike most of today's films, the filmmaker kept it to a compact 92 minutes. At times, the jumping from the past to present and back is a little confusing. Yet, overall the director manages to keep a good balance between is it psychological or is it something more going on. Well done and well worth seeing. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review gerald h the movie has a good tone in general but is so overconstrued it hurts Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
