The Invisible Witness

I saw this movie and I gave it 8 stars. Then, out of simple curiosity I wanted to see the Spanish original, Contratiempo. It is a total shame: the Italian film is slavishly copied scene after scene from the original... In all the smallest details, in the angle of the shots... Making a movie like this doesn't make any sense. So I went back to the site to change my review: a complete plagiarism!

Il testimone invisibile is a great crime mystery movie. The story starts with a traffic accident in the mountains that has unexpected, tragic consequences for an important business tycoon from Milano. He spends the evening discussing the trial strategy with his female lawyer. There are lots of surprises along the way that keep you guessing until the end. The acting is superb. Apparently, this is a remake of a Spanish movie, which some reviewers think is better. Maybe that's the case, but my 8* review is for this movie and anyways, remakes are done all the time, so it is no big deal this is another.

Big NO for copying one of great spanish movie ,,,eveything is the same but this one is o italian. Shame on you. This should be forbiten and i think its beter on spanish !

Watched this on a long plane flight - well constructed and enjoyed the acting and process. It was more rewarding than many a 'who done it' with some interesting twists. OK, the guys not likeable but the ups and downs are well constructed - worth seeing if it ever comes your way

Unfortunately metacritic is missing on italian movies... so i based my choice on user rating (6.9, today) and it was way to bad... this movie worth barely 2 or 3... from soap opera acting from all the players, to the soundtrack, probably found on a free stock website under the 'thriller' category, pedantic as a man constanly hitting your shoulder saying 'ehi ehi it's a thriller ehi ehi'... and not to mention the great final twist wich is absolutely crystal clear after 10 minutes from the beginning of the movie... A character of this film use to say (for a dozen boring times) that details are important... and so i say to the guys who made this, please look again at the news on tv that are showed during the movie... is really poorly implemented, it's exactly the kind of stuff people do at high school when they want to play at beeing film-maker. i wish i've never choose this movie...
