May God Save Us

This is a Spanish production (original title: "Que Dios Nos Perdone"), directed by Rodrigo Sorogoyen ("The Realm", "Stockholm") and starring two great Spanish actors, Antonio de la Torre ("The Fury of a Patient Man", "Marshland"), and Roberto Álamo ("The Skin I Live In", "Bajo Sospecha") who are both outstanding in their respective roles as two homicide investigators who are dealing with a nasty case of a series of brutal rapes, committed in Madrid. The victims are all elderly, defenseless women, a fact that makes the crime even more gruesome and appalling. You should bear in mind that this is not a film for the faint of heart and in many parts, the audience may feel disturbed, not because of graphic, brutal scenes but mainly due to the movie's overall mood that exudes darkness and pessimism. In many parts, "May God Save Us" brought to my mind the popular "True Detective'' television series, especially in terms of characterization and atmosphere, and this is, of course, is meant as a compliment. Spain remains a solid choice when it comes to quality crime productions, both on silver screen and television. If you enjoyed "Marshland" and "Contratiempo" you should definitely check this one out. It deserves a compact five-star rating.

I was positive surprise. I had some Hitchcock moments. Good acting, shocking pictures, good work of location scouts and above all a great ending.

Another quality movie from Spain. It's not often I watch Spanish movies but it seems every time I do it's a good one. Same with Que Dios Nos Perdone. In it's own style it is a good movie about a sadistic serial killer. The hunt for the killer takes you on a ride full of suspense with some excellent acting from the whole cast. Antonio de la Torre as the stuttering inspector Velardes is definitely worth watching. Excellent job from Antonio de la Torre. The movie contains some graphic images from violent scenes, what makes the intensity of the movie even better. The guessing on who is the murderer will keep you interested for almost the entire movie and that's a good thing. Revealing the identity of a murderer too soon is most of the time not a good idea in this kind of movies and here the timing was perfect. Definitely worth a watch.

"Que Dios nos perdone" is a Thriller - Drama movie in which we watch two inspectors trying to solve the mystery behind some murders and figure out who is the serial killer behind them. They have to find the serial killer as soon as possible in order to prevent the occurrence of more murders.

I liked this movie very much because it had a nice and interesting plot filled with tension and plenty of mystery, something that made it even more interesting. The direction which was made by Rodrigo Sorogoyen was very good and he did an amazing job on the way he presented his main characters and the plot of the movie. The interpretations of both Antonio de la Torre who played as Velarde and Roberto Álamo who played as Alfaro were very good and their combination worked very well. In addition to this, the differences of their characters along with their different perspective on many matters created a nice bond between them, that was obvious through the whole duration of the movie. Finally, I have to say that "Que Dios nos perdone" is a nice mystery movie and I highly recommend everyone to watch it because I am sure that will leave you speechless.

It's so good to watch a good film with policemen, some thriller and of course the bad guys, but this time it's in an European city, Madrid. Quite better than LA, NY or the rest of exhausted American cities.

The couple of actors are superb, especially the tough Alfaro, played by Roberto Álamo. Antonio de la Torre plays the partner, Velarde, a strange character that makes the game more interesting.

Of course the movie is full of topics or even scenes that remind some other similar films, but it's difficult to do otherwise, because the subject has been repeatedly used as script.

There are huge differences but it come to my mind a few times the film Seven. I know that this film is in all the list about the greatest films, but for this reason it's normal that all films about the subject drink a bit from it.
