The setup in the beginning is really just as I expected from what I saw in the trailer. Not to mention a lifetime, even a single day can get turned upside down by the intrusion of the bad guys. The writers and directors truly captured the male lead's unfortunate day in a way that keeps the audience both nervous and rooting for him. It really suits my taste, and I often thought to myself, "What the heck, this is so messed up!" But the plot takes a sharp turn, and we also get a glimpse of the discussions in society about organ donation and the eye-for-an-eye kind of revenge. All in all, it's worth checking out at the movie theater.

Good intentions but lousy result
searchanddestroy-129 July 2023
I was deceived by this psychological drama thriller, and certainly not crime, beware. Not action - or so few - scenes, and predictable, cheesy plot, with a great lack of tension, and poignant moments that could have been put into this movie. But, I repeat, the basic plot is pretty interesting, this cross of fates, two men's fates, could have been better if the screenwrite or director had been more involved. At least that's my opinion, but from a Spanish or even American film, I am not that surprised. I am sure that a British film maker would have done much better, or maybe a French. That's all folks.
Hit and miss

No pun intended - the French made some really good thrillers, but Spanish cinema is more than able to do the same (or even better - depending on your outlook on it I'd say). Really great acting to a tight script does help a lot. What would you do is one of the questions we get asked? And it is not an easy one to answer ... life isn't fair ... well we kind of knew that anyway, right? That was more of a rhetorical question.
Motivation of the bad guy might be something that would have been a nice touch, but I reckon it would have humanized the villain and have taken too much focus away from the main issues ... destiny, fate ... and coincidences ... so many things that add up. Anyone who likes thrillers will like this ... or the inevitable remake that will surely come sooner than later ...
