Inimiga Perfeita

With the brand''x'' stamped in the forehead. Its a well hidden story about a childhood misery, a lovestory and a tale about a murder. Its very well conducted, filmed and acted at all levels, in a typical european way of cloaking a plot.so if you havent read the book it has its surprising twists. So its a recommend from the ever so grumpy old man.

I was intrigued by the trailer and marked it in my watchlist. Lately so many movies have been turning out to be promising in trailers but a total dud when you are like just 20 minutes into it. This one turned out to be better than the trailer and actually made me sit tight and watch till the very last frame. It's not slow to call it a slow burn but the first 10 mins instil enough curiosity to want to watch further. And yes, the good element of what next continues to pay off every 10 mins as this girl who wouldn't stop talking frustrates the hell out of you as you root for the lead male character. Well, won't spoil anything for you. Just watch it with an open mind and that you are watching an awesomely high on quality a flick, that's all is what you should remember and it pays off awesomely! I loved it.

So, here we go again: if IMDB had an option to hide the current rating of a film, i would gladly check it and never see any rating again. This film deserves so much more.

It was good, suspenceful and well written. Ok, you may identify the "twist" early in the film, but... you don't expect the ending.

Kudos.

From the start, this female pain in the ass annoyed, harrassed, disturbed me. I would not have had one tenth of the patience of this man. And, believe it or not, I like helping people. From the beginning, I rightaway was thrown into this story, an unusual one for sure which you are litterally stuck to. A psychological thriller but the comparison with Jo Mankiewicz's SLEUTH or Robert Harmon's HITCHER is maybe not that fair, because this one is truly disturbing, twisted. If you like surprises, that movie is definitely for you. Also Brian De Palma could have done it, with many different directing methods, but the subject is for him. If any one among you wonders why I speak of HITCHER, the female character' purpose reminds me Rutger Hauer's one. However this feature is too complex for me who is too much cartesian.

OK - so let's get this out of the way - if you're an MCU fan then this is not the film for you. Nothing blows up - there are no clever quips in the middle of battles - just a tour de force of acting by two excellent protagonists and some amazing dialogue and story-telling.

NOTHING blows up - there are no fast and furious cars.

If you like good writing, acting - good cinema - then this is worth your time.
