La disparition de Soledad

Look I love to watch Colombian film and series but when a director needs to use music in every scene to force the mood you know the script and direction are lacking.

Perdida is watchable and the story is somewhat interesting albeit convoluted like a novela.

Could have been better if the faith of the daughter was unknown. Messy series with some unbelievable events and superficial characters. But at the end easy to watch with Some nice settings.

The second half of this web series was definitely more gripping and interesting than the first half.With better editing the series could have been reduced from 11 episodes to 10.Everything else was good but not great about this show.

Antonio Santos is a Spanish man who is arrested in Bogota carrying drugs through the airport... he isn't an ordinary drug mule though; he intended to be caught. His five year old adopted daughter, Soledad, was kidnapped thirteen years previously and he has been led to believe that a man who knows something about it is in jail in Bogota. When his ex-wife learns where he is she too flies to Bogota and, with the help of a lawyer starts looking into Soledad's adoption. We also see that Soledad is alive and well living with an actress and her drug lord husband; an incident leads to her questioning her past.

I found this to be an entertaining series; its premise may be a little far-fetched but it works to provide plenty of exciting and dangerous situations; in particular for Antonio in the tinder box environment of the jail. There is a good amount of action in every episode. The characters are fun in a slightly exaggerated way. The cast is solid making the characters believable. The locations are good, especially the jail... I have no idea what real Colombian jails are like but if they are anything like the one depicted here they are scary and dangerous places! Overall I'd recommend this to fans of tense dramas who don't mind melodramatic elements.

These comments are based on watching the series in Spanish with English subtitles.

The Latin American movies have an art of storytelling. This web series is no exception. With excellent a ring. A must see.
