Il testimone invisibile

I saw this movie and I gave it 8 stars. Then, out of simple curiosity I wanted to see the Spanish original, Contratiempo. It is a total shame: the Italian film is slavishly copied scene after scene from the original... In all the smallest details, in the angle of the shots... Making a movie like this doesn't make any sense. So I went back to the site to change my review: a complete plagiarism!

Big NO for copying one of great spanish movie ,,,eveything is the same but this one is o italian. Shame on you. This should be forbiten and i think its beter on spanish !

The story of two men who are swayed by a past unsolved case. Businessperson Adriano finds his mistress dead and is accused of murder. Driven into a desperate situation, he hires Virginia, a skilled lawyer who is undefeated. Virginia engages in a psychological war with Adriano to prove his innocence, but Adriano seems to be hiding something ....

The best part of this movie is the psychological war between the lawyer and the suspect. Virginia uncovers the darkness deep inside Adriano's heart with skillful questioning and sharp insight. In particular, the episode about his past car accident seemed to highlight the darkness inside Adriano.

Watching this movie reminded me of the depth of the human heart. Adriano is a man who has achieved success but continues to suffer from past mistakes. He keeps repeating lies to cover up his crimes, but Virginia's incisive questions remove them one by one and eventually he loses everything.

Virginia, on the other hand, is not a perfect person. She does her best to exonerate her client, but there are glimpses of her ambition and fame behind her. The complex psychological portrayal of the two characters makes the film even more profound and interesting.

Personally, the film was full of highlights, including the psychological warfare between the lawyer and the suspect, the beautiful visuals, and the heavy story of the darkness of the human mind.

This movie is a very fake copy of it's spanish version! "Invisible guest" or "contratiempo" and shame on you for this fake copy!!! Awful!

Unfortunately metacritic is missing on italian movies... so i based my choice on user rating (6.9, today) and it was way to bad... this movie worth barely 2 or 3... from soap opera acting from all the players, to the soundtrack, probably found on a free stock website under the 'thriller' category, pedantic as a man constanly hitting your shoulder saying 'ehi ehi it's a thriller ehi ehi'... and not to mention the great final twist wich is absolutely crystal clear after 10 minutes from the beginning of the movie... A character of this film use to say (for a dozen boring times) that details are important... and so i say to the guys who made this, please look again at the news on tv that are showed during the movie... is really poorly implemented, it's exactly the kind of stuff people do at high school when they want to play at beeing film-maker. i wish i've never choose this movie...
