Cuando los ángeles duermen

The movie in itself is a good watch if you're looking for something to kill boredom. However the characters and story can be extremely frustrating at times and the decisions made are.....The ending isn't what I would've hoped but was still a nice little watch. Esther Expósito did a good job with what character she had to work with. Would recommend if feeling like watching something different.

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.

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.

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.

I perfectly understand why so many people don't like this movie; people are so silly, because always in search of good happy endings, with moral, ethics, predictable sissies for endings. This movie is terrific for my own taste.because the overall scheme looks like a horror movie, the kind of feature with a very few characters but with twists endings, always the same...Here you have nothing like this/ I thought about Serge Leroy's LA TRAQUE (1975) when I saw the end of this one. A common dude, not a criminal, slowly becoming one against his will. But an opinion is like a finger print, each person has his or her own...
