L'Avertissement

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

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 .

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.

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.

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
