Lack of good storyline.
... View MoreI like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

... View MoreJust intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
... View MoreHow do you justify a crack investigator who goes through investigation with trigger - happy tear ducts and near hysterical ambience? You cannot! Particularly when this investigator is supposed to have been chosen specifically for her competence. There are a lot of grievances for this one, suffice it to say that it is a mediocre production with less than competent acting, nigh ridiculous script and the less said about the alleged mystery the better. I am sick - and - tired of emotionally broken investigator stereotype that celluloid is still selling. Mostly because you need one hell of a director to pull them off otherwise they are just annoying as hell and futile. Just like this movie.Photography is top - notch. Hence two stars.
... View MoreNice cinematography and decent acting but this film didn't know what genre it wanted to be. In my opinion it should have left out the supernatural element (which seemed pointless) and should have used the time to focus more on the main character's past which was never satisfactorily explored. This could have given the film a bit more depth, particularly around the theme of purity which was trying to be a link between her childhood experience and the murders but failed to do so with any real significance. As it stands it's too long and lacking the intricacies required to make it a really good film.
... View MoreI've rarely seen a picture/movie that is from a country which language I don't really comprehend. I was intrigued by the movie since I'm trying to learn Spanish and it's a movie from Spain, so first off - very good. The language is captivating, even though they speak waaaaay to fast for me. The suspense was there, and at the end it really got me. But first things first. The acting was really well done, the cinematography was really nicely done and most of the script I really enjoyed. However, there were a few things that I didn't really like, well, I didn't understand; - Why was her mother such a b**** to her, but not the other sisters? -Did Flora and Ros not know what their mother did to Amaia? -Did her father just sweep it under the rug and pretend everything was fine? - How did Flora know where to find Victor and Amaia? - After, I suspect, a good number of years as a cop, how come when she really needed to, it was like she had no clue how to defend herself? I would have thought she could at least have tried to disarm and knock him out before getting to the girl and rescue her. If it hadn't been for Flora's miraculous timing, they'd both be dead. - Are we sure Flora had nothing to do with it? I have even more questions, but I'll leave it here. I still think it was a good movie and I would probably recommend it to others who want to see a good suspense movie. But I would say that the ending is a bit vague and leaves you with a tonne of questions.
... View MoreCloser to reality then a Sherlock Holmes on the one hand, but intriguing mystery blended in on the other. I do like the depth of the history/youth of the inspector, gives her more character and well acted emotions all the way. So this movie basically has several good points that could interest a broad audience. And it deserves it, good build up and pace, I'm sure many will enjoy this movie.
