Boy Missing

Spanish thrillers are on the rise some would argue. And they would have good reasons and examples that prove their point. One of them is right here. I generally do not like to talk about plot or anything story related and I do think that just the tag line for this is enough. You can feel with the mother and understand at least on some level what she is going through.

Having said that, it's not like she chooses always the best way to handle things. But imagine if it was your kid. Now of course some things that happen are coincidental, but that does not mean you can't watch it again for various reasons. Just the way it develops and where it lands are enough to make this a satisfying view ...

I don't want to give it away, but all too often you can see the end coming a mile away, but not on this film.

It's a low budget film, but really well done, twists and turns right to the very end. I noticed someone commented about the dog fighting scene. It's not real, no more than the bruises on the kid.

I really liked this movie.

Unpredictable and exciting with good actors and acting.

The ending is fantastic and totally unexpected, but each one with their own tastes.

Don't miss it if you like good Spanish thrillers, and this one is very realistic and well done.

This is a good crime thriller that keeps the audience attention until the final scene. I only found myself out of the movie in a couple of scenes that they could have been shorter, for instance when the main actress and her ex husband meet for first time. I think that is the only negative I found in the film, the rest of the scenes are there to move the story towards the conclusion and they do it well.

Overall I was immersed, intrigued and surprised with each of the twists in the story. Watch it if you like crime thrillers.

The subtitles made me wish my Spanish was either so much better that I could dispense with them, or so much worse that I didn't realize how poorly done the translations were (it was apparent that they were NOT done by a person FLUENT in BOTH languages). I really enjoyed the movie. It was well-acted, and had an intriguing plot, but at some point the plot twists did spiral out of control.
