Taut and slick thriller in 92 minutes titled El aviso or The warning with supernatural events in which a boy suffers bullying and receiving a suspicious letter telling his life is in risk , while a disturbing young attempts to save him and uncover weird mysteries. Suspenseful and mysterious flick with an interesting group of roles caught into fear , despair and paranoia . Twisted and complex script based on the novel by Paul Pen , being written by Sparling who wrote Buried and along with Javier Guerricaechevarria , regular Alex De la Iglesia collaborator such as Dia de Bestia, and other hits as Cell 211 and Kovack box . Raul Arevalo gives a nice acting as the mathematician who suffers shizophrenia and begins a dangerous race against time to save the child and to avoid that crime will repeat , seeking a way to prevent it . Aura Garrrido as the protector mother is pretty well , she is a fine actress, as she has proved in Ministerio Del Tiempo series.Support cast is frankly good such as Aitor Luna , Sergio Calleja, Patricia Vico who is Calparsoro' wife , Alfredo Villa , Belen Cuesta and the veteran Julieta Serrano.

The fim packs an atmospheric and stirring musical score by Julio De la Rosa . And an evocative but dark cinematography by Sergi Villanova , shot on location in Madrid outside , Chamartin barrio. The Motion picture was well directed by veteran director Daniel Calparsoro, though It has some flaws and gaps . Daniel has a long career as filmmaker from his beginning with Basque films as Pasajes, Salto al vacio, A ciegas , Ausentes ; subsequently making thrillers as Asfalto , Guerreros , Invasor ,and the successful Combustion and Cien años de perdon . He also directed Tv series as Inocentes, La ira, El castigo , Apaches. Rating 6.5/10 . Decent and passable yarn as well as acceptable supernatural thriller.

Without giving away a lot, the movie was good. The story takes a little dialogue to get going, and it doesn't make a whole lot of sense at first. But, the story does develop and after a little, keeps you intrigued. The move could have been a solid 7-8, but the ending brought it down 1 - 2 stars. Overall, good acting, original storyline, and shot fairly well. That ending though...

A disturbing movie, in which a guy sees (or thinks he sees) an arithmetic connection between shootings in a gas station which claimed five lives : the total of the age of the victims is oddly the same and it happened several times ,within decades of one another ; but this man is a mentally-sick man ,who swallows pills every day ,even though the rapport he has with the other characters is quite normal; he even shows altruism and compassion when his best friend is rushed to the hospital.

There are many interesting subjects in this thriller, notably bullying and harassment at school in a plot which seems independent of the main story ,but becomes little by little the most gripping of the film: this mother ,although she complains at school ,wants her son to be a man and to overcome his jitters ,even though the boy , victim of a hateful blackmail by his school mates,has received an ominous warning .It's finally this mother-and-child relationship which saves the confused final sequences .

Little confusing plot even made me impressed...but little disappointed from ending...but i suggest that its worth watchable...

The questioning to audiences what's going on is quite well planned but it's kinda planning too much and long in my opinion. Also, the mum force her son to the convenient store totally a big failure of this movie. If something that's meant to be causing the boy go into the store, I'm more convinced. Just more logical that how the curse been continued.

I was apprehensive by seeing the rating of 5.9. However, there is a surprise; the movie has to be watched with little focus, and I am sure you appreciate the take. I did not agree with the ending as a small portion of logic missing. The acting and the screen play are perfect. Please watch and post your review... surely deserving more than 7 rating.

This movie has a few problems. It shows past and present events without explanations, that took me one hour to understand this. The pace is slow, so very slow...

And where are the mathematics ? The main guy just repeat dates and ages, he found no mathematic rule. Oh, and you know what ? He has schizophrenia, and after a while, he stops using his treatment. That means he starts to act like a disturbed guy, and nobody believe him. So convenient for the plot, isn't it ?

The end comes, but there is still no explanation given...

These 90 minutes should have been shorted as a "The twilight zone" 30 minutes episode.

Avoid it.

El Aviso builds up as something great, but falls flat with the ending delivery. It tried to be something meticulous an intricate, but the complexity of the premise might have threw this movie off.

In El Aviso, we follow Jon on a attempt to solve the mystery behind the shooting that injuried his friend. Jon goes far on hi theory on a Number 23-ish vibe that I really appreciate.

The problem is that this is the extent of what this movie is about.

Jon's investigation seems lunatic, to say the least. El Aviso does not show us any proof of concept other than Jon's realizations and especulatinos over hard facts he finds.

With a slow pace that might bore you, El Aviso fails to conclude the over-the-top theory Jon untails, leaving us with a sense of casualty that hurts our brains, no conclusion to what is going on.

Managing the time , fate, psicosis and mathematical paradoxes. Very amusing. At the end or after the end I have the feeling it has a little trick or some forced mathematical issue, but very absorbet, amusing, good to see

And it's not just our main character who has to fight with those, but also the viewer. I don't think anyone missunderstands what this is about or finds it completely uninteresting. For some it might be tough to watch though. If you have a main character with flaws like that, the connection might be lost (not just in translation).

But it's what makes this thriller/psyhological drama interesting. It does give us interconnecting stories. While at first we can only guess, it becomes clearer as time goes by what this is all about. Of course that has to do with the main character explaining it to us. Wicked/good idea, that could have done with a few more highlights, but overall more than a decent attempt and "thrilling" enough

Nice little cosmic-time-warp mystery. Kept me guessing throughout and the pay off was good enough to leave me satisfied. No tour de force but a nicely paced, scripted, well acted and over all entertaining film.

Psychological drama about a policeman who is not reconciled with the attack suffered by his best friend, can with the investigations find similar situations occurred in the same place other times when other people were killed as in a continuous deja vu. The movie has merits but it does not reach its objectives. boring.

To be honest, i decided to watch this movie because of the premise and it quite actually offers you what you need. The direction, story, acting, music was right on the point. Its kind of a slow burn but never gets you bored. The climax scenes really manages you to be on the edge of the seat. Although the climax scenes were perfectly shot, there seems to be a huge plot hole (there are many though) or a mistake made by the makers in marking the genre of the film. As the movie progresses towards the climactic point , we feel that the genre is shifting from thriller to a supernatural thriller, but in a good way. I really liked the climax of the movie, reminds us of the time paradox used in many time travel movies. Overall my rating is 7/10. A decent watch . Don't forget this : watch this as a Supernatural thriller

Absolute garbage..... Another Netflix piece of crap. Even the calendar claims the 12th April 2018 is a Tuesday when it was a Thursday..... If they can't get the basics right ignore the rest.....

I enjoyed this title, the cinematography is excellent, the story is thrilling with a good number of twists, the actors are believable -Raúl Arévalo's role is intense and balance-, the music choice is perfect for the atmosphere the plot wants to create. On the negative side, I would say the story is not the most original but that is not a reason not to enjoy the film.

I recommend this film to those looking for an atmospheric thriller with a hint of magic realism.

One of ridiculous and boring movie i have ever seen. I have noted name of the scenarist in order to avoid anyother movie of him.

A Spanish film that combines a thriller with drama. Quality. It is about a man who wonders about the shooting of a friend who is a victim and tries to solve it with a mathematical formula, as well as the story of the boy who suffers bullying. Counted in two parts. It is not an action movie. The mathematical formula they use is very interesting. It keeps you entertained for much of the movie. The only problem is the end is not what one expects and you are left owing. The editing is spectacular.

A little bit slow and jumps in the story line that break the flow, but decent movie with good photography. Contrary to what critics say is no terrible.
