And the worst part; the big plot twist, is extremely obvious while in the original movie Contratiempo it isn't at all.
Il testimone invisibile is a great crime mystery movie. The story starts with a traffic accident in the mountains that has unexpected, tragic consequences for an important business tycoon from Milano. He spends the evening discussing the trial strategy with his female lawyer. There are lots of surprises along the way that keep you guessing until the end. The acting is superb. Apparently, this is a remake of a Spanish movie, which some reviewers think is better. Maybe that's the case, but my 8* review is for this movie and anyways, remakes are done all the time, so it is no big deal this is another.
This movie is a very fake copy of it's spanish version! "Invisible guest" or "contratiempo" and shame on you for this fake copy!!! Awful!
The story of two men who are swayed by a past unsolved case. Businessperson Adriano finds his mistress dead and is accused of murder. Driven into a desperate situation, he hires Virginia, a skilled lawyer who is undefeated. Virginia engages in a psychological war with Adriano to prove his innocence, but Adriano seems to be hiding something ....
The best part of this movie is the psychological war between the lawyer and the suspect. Virginia uncovers the darkness deep inside Adriano's heart with skillful questioning and sharp insight. In particular, the episode about his past car accident seemed to highlight the darkness inside Adriano.
Watching this movie reminded me of the depth of the human heart. Adriano is a man who has achieved success but continues to suffer from past mistakes. He keeps repeating lies to cover up his crimes, but Virginia's incisive questions remove them one by one and eventually he loses everything.
Virginia, on the other hand, is not a perfect person. She does her best to exonerate her client, but there are glimpses of her ambition and fame behind her. The complex psychological portrayal of the two characters makes the film even more profound and interesting.
Personally, the film was full of highlights, including the psychological warfare between the lawyer and the suspect, the beautiful visuals, and the heavy story of the darkness of the human mind.

Watched this on a long plane flight - well constructed and enjoyed the acting and process. It was more rewarding than many a 'who done it' with some interesting twists. OK, the guys not likeable but the ups and downs are well constructed - worth seeing if it ever comes your way
