This film was playing yesterday (11/27) on Cinecanal, channel 41 on Telecentro.
I wanted to see if my original opinion still stood. And ...? yes it does!.
I thought the plot was convoluted,... all over the place. It has about six flashbacks to the past.
Darin's hair goes from black to grey to black to grey and grey to black. And the woman who has black hair and appears in the flashbacks ?.
Her hair remains black all the time, So when she's talking you can't tell if it's in the flashback or what ?
There are some scenes that are out of place and bordering on the ridiculous. They're looking for a murder suspect who happens to be a fan of a particular soccer team. So they go to a game in a stadium of about 50 thousand people & they find him in a crowd. What are the chances of that happening in real life?.
Then there's the one where the female judge accuses a suspect in a rape case,... that he is not man enough to have done it.
So the guy gets up and pulls down his pants to show his penis
!!!... Are you kidding me !!!
But wait,... the end is that Darin's character finds the husband of the murdered woman living alone somewhere in the boondocks.
When he goes back to the house in the middle of the night he finds that the man has been living with the murder suspect keeping him as his personal prisoner.
Ok,...the movie should have ended there as that was the crux of the whole movie. But noooooooo... the next scene Darin's character is buying some flowers for his dead friend and visits his grave. And then he goes to visit his lady friend at the court house looking like his going to propose. So the film turns into a possible love story. The guy who kept the prisoner in his basement is never mentioned again. Like that's a perfectly normal thing to do.
If this was the best foreign film of that year, I would hate to see the others.
I give this turkey, five thumbs down
!!!!!!
