La octava cláusula

The direction helps to make this movie a gripping mystery, but the script doesn't end up convincing me.

The mystery is maintained very well during almost the entire film, creating an atmosphere of convincing tension, also accompanied by a good plot twist, but the writing of this story is half done, not everything has a development, although what does have to, It was convincing to me, some characters have no development or are very flat, the main flaw in the script is the ending, since at first impressions it is shocking, then it ends up being ridiculous and without much explanation of why the characters made those decisions, just like that feels incomplete and unsatisfying. The performances are not bad, in fact they are convincing, but they do not have much personality and do not express many emotions, also due to the weak writing, there are some moments in the editing of the scenes where there are blows that did not convince me, as well some decisions made by the characters seemed absurd to me.

I think it stands out from other Mexican films, because it is of a very different genre from comedy and the mystery can be convincing, but even so it is impossible not to see its flaws, especially in the script, It's not very bad but it's not perfect either.
