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.

It isn't the worst thing I've ever seen, but the characters are written to have the most annoying traits and dialouge imaginable. The girl is so annoying and belligerent that you just wish for him to kill her so she shuts up. I'll give credit for the idea not being repeatedly overdone (In this exact scenario anyway), but I seriously couldn't wait for it to end because of how annoying the characters were. I never expect Netflix originals to be amazing, but this movie was very frustrating to watch. I felt annoyed the entire time. If you do not speak Spanish it is best to watch it with subtitles instead of being dubbed to English. That might have made the characters sound a lot more believable as the dubbing job was very poor.

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.

Guy (our potential hero) drives back home fatigued and either hits a young woman at the side of the road or perhaps not. She has a friend who is so stupid she thinks artificial resuscitation by the hero is an attempt at murder. At this point she runs off into the countryside, fearful for her life. Our hero, with a possibly dying passenger in his car, forgets all about getting her to hospital and instead runs all around back roads trying to find the stupid friend. WTF. Why for gods sake??? . Just stupid.

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.
