Awful film
The film is awful, it tries to follow the Hollywood pattern not only with its simple and plain storyline (some people call it a "twist" in the end?! Howcome?!), but also with the placing of the camera, pace and in other acting/technical aspects. But it fails. It fails because the director is not capable here of creating any kind of drama, suspense nor it shows any kind of quality in the production. It really seems to be a film made with money but directed by the most amateur possible director.
Although weak, the acting is not the worst here. Some respectable performances by the lead male characters (the same I can not tell about the lead female actress, something went really wrong here, either with her or with the directing).
So in my opinion you should not waste your time here. There are good Portuguese films and there are bad Portuguese films. And then there are these films, the ones you should avoid because there is NOTHING new here, you will find only bad imitation and the most predictable storyline ever.
