Anti Professor (?)

[kosmasp · 6/10 · 9 June 2023]

No pun intended - and I actually have not seen the tv show the main actor here is famously in (Casa de Papal or something like that) - I do have it on my watchlist and I did meet him briefly at a convention. Cool and fun Dude as you may imagine.

His character here is not so cool - as in quite driven by his emotions. Understandable to a degree - again since I have not seen the show, I have no idea if this is a stretch when it comes to his acting chops or more of the same. I can only say that he is really doing everything he can to elevate the movie - I would argue he is not able to, especially because this is by the numbers (which would be something a professor would love I reckon) ... is that enough thrill(er) for you?

Unrealistic, so many plot holes & bad script!

It started very interesting! Casa de Papel Main Actor, beautiful main actress. Wow. Mysterious Suitcase is found. Main story on paper not bad, but the script is just awful. So many things that are simply stupid. No Logic at all. The actors give their best, but the plot is simply not believable at toooo many points during the story. Also its more a drama than a crime story. No deep connections, no conversations, no logic. No thrill. Its normal to see situations in movies where peope do not act like real humans, just for the sake of the story, but here it happens too often. Every 5 minutes bad decisions are made. As the viewer we dont even know why, what are the actors motivations? Why should we care? It's a brutal mess. Especially the last 15minutes are crazy stupid and bad ending.. Save yourself and watch something else!

Failed classic noir

[sadak7599 · 3/10 · 22 January 2023]

This is a good try, given the usual low quality of Spanish productions. But, it is still a really bad movie. A thriller with elements of classic noir, the story is plagued by the bad acting of main cast, and a dense and false drama, presumptuous and full of clichés. The worst is the complete lack of consistency, absurdities and unbelievable situations and behaviors of the main parts, which constantly break the suspension of disbelief. As usual in Spanish movies, the depiction of police work is ludicrous and unrealistic.

The best part, the Chinese guys in the very first minutes. The other actors are, simply, not good, plain and without life, lacking chemistry among them, character development, or ability to create empathy with the viewer. Maybe the problem is that they tried to present people, situations and dialogues that are culturally so far from Spanish culture. Perhaps, on the script in paper, it works; but, when filmed, just doesn't work. I guess that a Hollywood remake, solving the holes and inconsistencies, would work as a routinary, but nice thriller.

Overall, a bad, boring, slow, and stupid movie. To avoid.

wow...madre mios...

Lost and found , in all its forms, from birth to death, a secluded little spanish dramathriller, about a man that works in the citys department of lost and found items, a real nerdy job searching for the lost items owners, an obsesiveness occurs when a skelleton of a baby is found in a red suitcase drawn out of the river.

A well made, highly spano-european filmstyle, with its archtypical spanish male figurine, a well written crimestory of highly realistic issues, a human trafficking tale that happens everywhere in the world cloaked under the name of ''adoption''

but its also a desperate human lovestory, that takes risky turns from the start. The production design, the location layout , the multitude of weird lost gadgets, the musical score and some exclusively made filmatographic tricks makes this , along with a decently acting cast, a hidden gem of spanish language film.

There is something magic about the light and a feeling of a misty cold in the dark that i cannot explain, therefore have a look yourself, a recommend from the grumpy old man.
