Quando os Anjos Dormem

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.

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.

An interesting "perfect storm" of all the wrong possibilities converging into a single night of evolving chaos.

All things considered, could something like this actually happen in the real world?

Well, maybe . . .

Without explaining any specific details here, the question arises to what extent would someone go to protect their life situation and that of their family, if they found themselves in a circumstance that did not start off with ill intent, but ended up with a very narrow set of options to work with as their situation deteriorates.

If anything, this is something of a character study of clashing worlds, that of the executive family man, and some very poor decisions rendered into an already precarious scenario, mixed together with the irrational angst of teenagers, and in particular, a freaked out girl fueled with a bit of drugs amplifying her already bipolar state of mind.

Not a bad film, certainly not as bad as some of the reviews provided here.

The acting was reasonably well done, and for the most part, the suspension of disbelief was within a range of plausibility.

Would I spend the time to see this again? Probably not, but I'm not lamenting the time spent watching it either.

It at least deserves 5 stars . . .

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...
