Die Morde von Madrid

I was positive surprise. I had some Hitchcock moments. Good acting, shocking pictures, good work of location scouts and above all a great ending.

"Que Dios nos perdone" is a Thriller - Drama movie in which we watch two inspectors trying to solve the mystery behind some murders and figure out who is the serial killer behind them. They have to find the serial killer as soon as possible in order to prevent the occurrence of more murders.

I liked this movie very much because it had a nice and interesting plot filled with tension and plenty of mystery, something that made it even more interesting. The direction which was made by Rodrigo Sorogoyen was very good and he did an amazing job on the way he presented his main characters and the plot of the movie. The interpretations of both Antonio de la Torre who played as Velarde and Roberto Álamo who played as Alfaro were very good and their combination worked very well. In addition to this, the differences of their characters along with their different perspective on many matters created a nice bond between them, that was obvious through the whole duration of the movie. Finally, I have to say that "Que Dios nos perdone" is a nice mystery movie and I highly recommend everyone to watch it because I am sure that will leave you speechless.

Ok, so...

Here I am, a Dutch guy living in Portugal watching a Spanish movie with English subtitles...

From the start, I am in love with what this movie shows. (In)compatible characters, working together to find out what the hell is going on. Knowing Roberto Álamo from the Fugitiva series I was intrigued by the character.

And yes... It is there. No spoilers, no analysis ... Just watch it.

You will remember the faces of the characters/actors of this film for a long time. The character work is the best thing about this film and that the script hasn't written them as black or white but black and white. Only the killer is somewhat one sided. An atmospheric and gripping story with very interesting actors!

It's so good to watch a good film with policemen, some thriller and of course the bad guys, but this time it's in an European city, Madrid. Quite better than LA, NY or the rest of exhausted American cities.

The couple of actors are superb, especially the tough Alfaro, played by Roberto Álamo. Antonio de la Torre plays the partner, Velarde, a strange character that makes the game more interesting.

Of course the movie is full of topics or even scenes that remind some other similar films, but it's difficult to do otherwise, because the subject has been repeatedly used as script.

There are huge differences but it come to my mind a few times the film Seven. I know that this film is in all the list about the greatest films, but for this reason it's normal that all films about the subject drink a bit from it.
