Contratiempo

"Contratiempo" is quite an immersive, intriguing little thriller. The premise (going back and forth to retell the story) might be rather familiar, yet the story itself is pretty captivating. On the downside, the writer has a tendency, especially towards the end, to cram way too many twists in his story - the last one being also the most improbable one - and he does so without the needed finesse. It is a good effort and a pleasant watch, all I'm saying is, well, it has been done better before.

I don't know whether this is intelligent or not, but for me it is dishonest. The problem is that the constant lies we are told (which I enjoyed up to a certain point) were being told from an objective point of view, not the point of view of one subject. So, the more it twisted, the more it sank into the bottom; not the other way round.

Şaşırtıcı olmak için takla atılmış. Imdb ilk 250'de ne işi var anlamak zor.

Tight script, good, well-paced execution. Alas, you have to really try and look the other way not to see the final twist miles ahead.

Nimble and twisty thriller is great fun, taking direct cues from Hitchcock (even if the slavish imitation during one key disposal scene is a little distracting); performers are largely captive to the machinations of Paulo's dense plotting, though Casas, Wagener and Coronado all bring flair to their plot pawns (would love a remake with Affleck-Mirren-Giamatti, make this happen!) Plays reasonably fair, even if it skirts the truth on the "objectivity" of some plot points.

A wonderful who-done-it and why/how. It kept me to the edge of my seat.

The final act caught me completely off guard, such an incredible twist

That was a good film! I think what holds it back a little is, while it's not SUPER predictable, I was usually able to guess the next twist a minute or two before it was revealed to me, which did lessen the impact somewhat. But an enjoyable watch for sure.

Contratiempo reminds me of "12 Angry Men" in the way that as the movie progresses you get to think for yourself, what really happened? The music is also great along with an ending that I always suspected. A great thrill! However, it gets a little much after a while, so much that it becomes numbing with the plot twists. Low 80

I was impressed with some of the plot twists but weren't with some others due to plot hole issues.

It's competently made but the scenario which I guess is considered by most as the strong point of the movie left me indifferent. The story consists of a series of more and more improbable events, presented with an increasingly dramatic tone. The movie spends more time cramming as much twists as it can instead of trying to be somewhat believable. The juxtaposition between the absurdity of the plot and the very serious tone prevented me from really enjoying it.

It certainly borrows from other thrillers, and it’s highly unlikely that this story could play out so conveniently in real life. Putting that aside, it’s a really captivating thriller. As long as you’re able to let it do it’s thing without questioning it too much, it’s a very fun ride.

Old-school thrillers have, for the most part, gone the way of the dodo so I've been craving a fix for a while. This very slick Spanish gem fit the bill, and I loved how it kept me guessing and second-guessing not only the plot but also the validity of what the characters were claiming.

Really Good

A slightly above-average thriller that plays around with truth and lies.

Handles its twists and turns with grace, holding the tension for the whole runtime.

Decent. Too slick and stylized for me, making it feel a tad artificial. Not a great film, but a decent watch.

Sospechoso habitual ;)

başrollerde selçuk inan

Film özellikle her anı sürprizler ve yanıltmacalarla dolu ilginç senaryosu ile öne çıkmayı başarıyor. Film boyunca izlediklerimizin gerçekliğini devamlı sorguluyoruz ve son sahneye kadar aslında hiçbir şey tam olarak netleşmiyor.Film,yönetmenlik ve oyunculuk anlamında belli bir seviyeye sahip ama asıl akıllıca yazılmış senaryosu ile heyecanı ve gerilimi hep üst düzeyde tutmayı başarıyor.

Will make your head spin.

O filme é muito bom e prende do início ao fim, porém o ator principal deixa a desejar.

The truth was obvious. Also what they do is a different crime.

Smart, and fun to watch, but not a "great" film by any means.

Another great Spanish thriller

Great expectations with tremendous disappointment. Predictable like snow during the winter.

Ispanyollar'ın 2. sınıf filmlerinde de bizimkiler gibi bir 'sakin kalamama' sürekli bir 'spektakülerlik peşinde koşma' hastalığı var. 2016 değil 1996 filmi olsa belki kültlük sınırında sayılabilirdi ama bugün için oldukça demode ve vasat kalıyor. Müthiş zekice diye lanse edilen finalin de işe yarayacağını düşünmek için bir hayli saf olmak gerekiyor.

That will do, pig, that will do.

good movie

Twist on top of twist. Unlikely, but it's smart and fun.

A lot of twist with a thrilling scenario.
