Decent juvenile suspense movie full of twists , turns and an amazing ending
3 September 2017
Above average mystery thriller with plenty of plot twists , turns and a suspenseful finale . This is a top-notch thriller about a teacher (Miguel Angel Solá) who wishes to murder himself but he doesn't get it , as he asks for help a student named Francisco Garralda (Maxi Iglesias) that's just the starting point for him has come and then things go awry . As soon as he kills him he will pass the grade exam and to be rewarded with a lot of cash . Francisco gets together his friends at McKinley's pub (Luis Fernández , Javier Hernández , Aura Garrido) and explains them the weird happenings but events are about to get even worse .

¨Innocent killers¨ contains twisted mysteries , emotional thrills , action and suspense . This is a highly mysterious and cerebral thriller , though something lost , and filled with plot twists , including an unexpected denouement in its final part in which complicating things still further . The interesting premise in the following : In order to get out of an extreme situation, would you consider committing murder if the victim himself is asking for it? . Hitchcock style psychological mystery , being surprisingly good and stunningly directed . The original as well entertaining premise is overspread across the movie adding some brief conventional pitfalls . The picture is pretty well , though sometimes stagy and it has a lot of turns . However , being very entertaining for its continuous suspense . The main cast is frankly good , such as Maxi Iglesias as the young student becomes involved into a twisted murder intrigue , Aura Garrido as his sweetheart and special mention for the Argentine Miguel Angel Solá as the suspicious professor . Support cast is pretty well with brief appearances from Manolo Solo as public prosecutor , Vicente Romero as a Mafia lender who seeks vendetta , María Alfonsa Rosso as a gossiping neighbour , and Carlos Álvarez-Nóvoa as Garralda's father .

The film was compellingly produced by Marta Velasco who has financed some hits in the new Spanish cinema . This increasingly potent thriller displays a colorful and luxurious cinematography by Alvaro Gutiérrez , shot on location in Dos Hermanas ,Tomares, Sevilla, Andalucía,Sevilla, Andalucía, Spain . And stirring and thrilling score by Pablo Cervantes . This new film by Spanish writer/director Gonzalo Bendala was compelling written and professionally directed . Gonzalo previously realized short movies , he wrote and direxcted "Penumbra¨, ¨Días Rojos¨ , ¨El Orgullo¨ and documentary as ¨Guerra Civil En Andalucía¨ . Rating : 6.5/ 10 . Worth well watching
