Contratiempo

Contratiempo is a Spanish film directed and written by Oriol Paulo. In this successful film, there are famous Spanish actors like José Coronado or Mario Casas.

Adrián Dora, a successful business owner, is found in a closed room with a corpse. This is why police say that he committed the crime. Nevertheless, he decides to contract the most important witness tutor who helps him to avoiding joining prison. 

In my opinion is the best Spanish movie that I've ever seen. At first sight, it may seem that is like another one but it isn't. For me, this film is an example of how suspense films should be. Oriol Paulo had managed to create an incredible story with an amazing end (no spoilers)

Explaining a little what happened in the story (when Adrián explains the facts to his advocate)...

Adrián begins his statement saying that he didn't kill the person who was next to him in the room. He explained how he imagine he could arrive to that room as he can't remember it very well. He tells that he and his lover had a car accident and they killed the other person (of the other vehicle). To hide what had happened, they decided to throw the dead body into a lake. After they had managed to conceal the corpse, their car broke down. So they went into a home where the people who were living there were the parents of the dead person. Once they realized who where them, they left the home and received one message from someone saying that he had seen what had happened and wanted a big amount of money... The story continues but if I continue I would reveal the end so... I shouldn't.

What I liked the most about the film was the plot. As I said before, the proposal of the ideas is incredible. Of course, the actors and actresses did a well job, too. Maybe, for some people the explanation Adrian told could be a bit confusing because in fact, there were undergoing three parallels stories, which only one was true. 

According to the bad points, even if it's a Spanish film, I can't see any negative points. I enjoyed a lot when I was watching it.

So, if I had to value this film, I would give them a 9 out of 10 because I think all films and everything can beat themselves.
