Intuition

"La Corazonada" is Argentina's first Netflix original movie, and it puts together a crime drama with thriller elements that produce mixed results. Luisana Lopilato turns in a sturdy performance as Manuela Pelari, a rookie detective on her first major case. It produces an atmospheric feel to the film, much like its great cinematography and supporting cast. The story often falls into predictability, though, with very familiar tropes and a convoluted plot that at times feels formulaic rather than fresh. It's director Alejandro Montiel who builds some tense and captivating moments, but it is occasionally hard to work out the pacing and development of the characters. With an interesting look into an investigation related to a crime, "La Corazonada" presents nothing new in its genre and thus is something watchable but uneven.
