L'amica

"La Corazonada" is Argentina's first Netflix original movie, and it puts together a crime drama with thriller elements that produce mixed results. Luisana Lopilato turns in a sturdy performance as Manuela Pelari, a rookie detective on her first major case. It produces an atmospheric feel to the film, much like its great cinematography and supporting cast. The story often falls into predictability, though, with very familiar tropes and a convoluted plot that at times feels formulaic rather than fresh. It's director Alejandro Montiel who builds some tense and captivating moments, but it is occasionally hard to work out the pacing and development of the characters. With an interesting look into an investigation related to a crime, "La Corazonada" presents nothing new in its genre and thus is something watchable but uneven.

I found this kinda confusing and boring and I can see there is a good idea in here somewhere I just don't feel like they executed it very well.

It was a bit slow and this didn't help it any when I was confused as I just started to loose interest.

The opening is something else in its own. It is so unnecessary and if they scrapped it they would have shaved time of a long Enough movie.

It kinda reminded me of a plot that could have been on True Detective But not as good as their stories.

So I would skip it I guess

Morally speaking, what can a good detective get away with? And should we just believe him, just because he is a good cop? Why shouldn't we believe him though? Morality is a funny thing ... to a certain degree. The movie has not just a case that has to be resolved (although if you count one from the beginning there is already two of them), but a mystery surrounding the main character.

Well told and nicely edited this works in my humble opinion. Having said that, for some it may feel a bit predictable and they may see a couple of things before they are revealed. Still the tension and the suspense is there and holds the whole thing together - the actors do their best too. If you are into crime/detective movies, you will likely dig this

If I want to bake bread and want to see a movie too I would use this one. Plot may be fine. But dialogue, characters and actors performances are made of bad quality cheese. In a world with sooo many good movies I cannot understand why someone in the showbiz would think "ok this looks good". A tree has more expression than Furriel. Some secondary characters had good moments (some scenes with Maite Lanata). Lopilato has not improved at all her "my mate is clogged" face. Still is better than the previous one in the saga: "Perdida".

An Argentine thriller. Do you remember the saying that the second parts are always bad? Well this is a prequel to "Lost". And the film is not really bad, it is entertaining, of quality, the cases it handles are interesting. Only two sequences are not completely achieved. The last 5 minutes are spectacular. Performances are where they should be. The problem with this movie is that it doesn't have the cohesion of the first one. In fact to be a prequel it does not have the action and intrigue of "Lost". It does not show the motivations of the character of Pipa who is the protagonist. He does not speak about his traumas and motivations that lead to being a policeman and that lead to discovering things. He only mentions the past event once. There is no union between the main character of the film that we have already seen in this one, it is supposed to be a long time ago, these motivations are better marked.
