Noche Americana

A movie that keeps you hooked throughout the story. Excellent visual treatment by director Alejandro Bazzano. A very good script that speaks with humor and lucidity about issues such as the value and the dark fascination of fame. With very interesting plot twists that make the story change from romantic comedy to black comedy and thriller throughout the three acts. Very good acting performances. Especially those of Florencia Raggi in the role of a Latin movie star with a dark side, and Luis Cao, playing a funny and creepy security guard.

I don't like movies where a bland guy gets the girl just for the fact that he is the protagonist. The one in this movie is not funny, charming, mysterious, benevolent, he doesn't have an attractive face or frame... yet all the women in the movie want to sleep with him. Then some personal problems of his love interest come up, yet I never cared. The only times during this movie in which I had fun were when the villian appeared. At one point it seemed like this movie was trying to make you hate rich people (all the characters on the side of the protagonist were rich), but it was just my imagination.

In the end, I never felt anything for the characters. But that's just me.
