Cuando los ángeles duermen

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.

This was a nail biting thriller. It was superbly acted and finely executed. It takes you on a ride along with a common man in a terribly uncommon situation....it explores human emotions and decision making in this extent of frustratingly bizarre situation. I loved it.

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...

This movie was pretty entertaining and realistic despite what reviewers tend to be claiming. The voice dub was not synced well, but reminded me of old giallo movies. One of the objections that reviews had was there was too much chasing, but I thought it helps showcase his slow transformation as a character. Also, they do act stupidly because he is exhausted and she is on drugs for the first time. Finally, the ending was well thought out and presented. I didn't think it was the best movie, but it is much more intelligent than most reviewers are giving credit.

Guy (our potential hero) drives back home fatigued and either hits a young woman at the side of the road or perhaps not. She has a friend who is so stupid she thinks artificial resuscitation by the hero is an attempt at murder. At this point she runs off into the countryside, fearful for her life. Our hero, with a possibly dying passenger in his car, forgets all about getting her to hospital and instead runs all around back roads trying to find the stupid friend. WTF. Why for gods sake??? . Just stupid.
