Cuando los ángeles duermen

This was a nail biting thriller. It was superbly acted and finely executed. It takes you on a ride along with a common man in a terribly uncommon situation....it explores human emotions and decision making in this extent of frustratingly bizarre situation. I loved it.

Sure, many might say it has an unrealistic plot with stupid decisions and behaviors. But to my opinion people in panic or on drugs react unconventional and paranoid. And so we see a story of two people whose bad decisions bring them more and more into trouble and the spectator is more and more upset, but yeah that is just taken out of reality.

So to cut it short the movie mediocre ,, BUT ,, it does have some unpredictability and the events at the second half escalate really quick .. again it is not the perfect thrill/drama mix ,, but it had some unexpected ending "for me" ,, i mean the guy is or was :D a good guy but circumstances would bring the devil out of the angel.

The story is good,, even though the "chasing" looked long, the script was a bit short and direct ,, it had one unnecessary branch though , "the neighbor" i don't think that was related ,

The casting was very good,, the lead "Julián Villagrán" was amazing ,, his facial expressions were just perfection, and the girl "Ester Expósito" was also good ,. over-reacting and all.

Overall, the movie is not amazing piece of art ,, but it was good and it works fine in the thrill genre ,, and this is maybe only the 2nd Spanish movie i watch this year so i wouldn't say i'm disappointed.

It isn't the worst thing I've ever seen, but the characters are written to have the most annoying traits and dialouge imaginable. The girl is so annoying and belligerent that you just wish for him to kill her so she shuts up. I'll give credit for the idea not being repeatedly overdone (In this exact scenario anyway), but I seriously couldn't wait for it to end because of how annoying the characters were. I never expect Netflix originals to be amazing, but this movie was very frustrating to watch. I felt annoyed the entire time. If you do not speak Spanish it is best to watch it with subtitles instead of being dubbed to English. That might have made the characters sound a lot more believable as the dubbing job was very poor.

Cuando Los Ángeles Duermen (or When Angels Sleep for the English title) is a simple but entertaining Spanish movie about how fast things can turn from rather normal to complete chaos. It's not really a horror movie though, more a drama/thriller. Not a big cast as the whole story is more about two main characters, one that tries to convince the other he's not a bad person, and the other being completely paranoid. Well acted from both of them, as the rest of the small cast. There are no slow moments in this movie, there is some light suspense throughout the entire story and it's shot decently so definitely worth a watch.
