El Angel

...which annoyed me, because the production, cinematography and direction are amazing. Ferro didn't feel natural speaking, apparently everyone thinks he's pretty and provably that's attractive in an actor and main role (even if he doesn't look much like the real life Carlos Puch), but his lines felt very forced and sounded very unnatural, it's more noticeable if you understand the original language and Argentinian accent. I understand Carlos Puch is an absolute psychopath (excuse me if it's not the exact technical medical definition of what he is, but you get what I mean) and being inexpressive and lack of emotion in extreme situations could be part of his personality, but when Ferro is trying to act "normal" and talking to family or friends he looks and sounds very unconvincing. Still, besides this few scenes when I didn't like Ferro's performance, the movie is very well produced and I did enjoy it very much. There's also the fact that a couple of his worst crimes were left untold in the movie, which is weird, as they would have added a lot of weight and define better how bizarre and sinister Carlos is. Still, good movie, but because of (in my opinion, of course) the main role's bad casting, I have to lower my score quite a bit.

"El Ángel" is a Biography - Drama movie in which we watch a 17-year-old teenager trying to find his place in the world but his life choices change his routine and his life in general very much.

I found this movie interesting but it lacked on action and in some moments it became a bit boring. The plot was simple but good enough to keep the audience attention while the direction which was made by Luis Ortega was equally good but with no surprises. The interpretation of Lorenzo Ferro who played as Carlos was very good and he made the difference. In conclusion, I have to say that "El Ángel" is a nice drama movie to spend your time with but do not expect more from that because I am sure that you will be disappointed.

Watched this last night - absolutely stunningly directed, filmed and terrific acting, I found. Struggled a bit with the Argentinian Spanish and was very thankful for the English subtitles. :)

I'd love to hear from the people who are responsible for the comparatively poor rating (if I give it 10 and it sits on 6.8 there must be a few fairly poor votes) what they didn't like about it.

First of all, the film is very good if we talk about filmmaking. It is slow, and somehow this Works against. The acting is amazing, every actor is wonderfull. But come on...we know who this serial killer was, in this film he is too humorous and funny....couldn't accept this aspect of the film.

Fotografía, dirección, música, actuaciones, personajes. Altamente recomendable
