Provocotive
While a priest confesses the worst of sins to himself, enter the Devil. Or maybe the Angel of Death. Or maybe someone else, we really don't know.
All we know is someone will pay.
The simplicity of this film is very easy to appreciate. Nothing fancy at all. Just a good story with super-natural overtones that are impossible to miss.
What confused me a little was the advent of forcing the priest to make a choice, Christ like, of having to choose who would die.
While the priest is forced into a moral roast, five young men on vacation in Mexico are about to get into the trouble of their lives.
Armand Assante couldn't have done a better job as the more than human character who now conducts the theater of cause-and-effect. Someone will die. Who will it be?
It reminded me of the 'black button' story line in which death is passed down the line, like the ocean waves without morality. It just is what it is.
A very heavy-duty film designed to make you think, and appreciate (or respect) the un-seen in the universe and your un-intentional role in it.
