much more than I expected

This film ended up being better than I expected with: the noir aspect; the clues that seem to not put pieces together; the plot twists all the way through to the end; and like another reviewer mentioned. you're left still trying to fit it all together after the film is finished.

The dialogue was paced so that the viewer had time to read the captioning, and the captioning wasn't jumbled by trying to catch extraneous dialogue--these combine to create good scripting and editing. Typical of noir, the characters were pretty much one dimensional, but I thought the acting was excellent for the plot and tone.

I really liked the plot of this film as it was something out of the predictable. I'm finding that venturing into the lesser trod path can be a well-spent 105 minutes!

Solid effort

I don't usually review movies as I'm better at watching them than writing about them. However, I saw this last night at TIFF and since there's nothing here I thought I'd start things off.

The film was shot in Peru, the director's original home, and tries as much as possible to capture that noir look. It's a nice film to watch, and the plot is interesting and leaves you trying to fit everything together in your head after the movie's complete.

I thought the acting wasn't anything to write home about, but was perfectly fine for this movie.

Overall: 8/10. I'd recommend it.
