Presságio

An Argentine thriller. Do you remember the saying that the second parts are always bad? Well this is a prequel to "Lost". And the film is not really bad, it is entertaining, of quality, the cases it handles are interesting. Only two sequences are not completely achieved. The last 5 minutes are spectacular. Performances are where they should be. The problem with this movie is that it doesn't have the cohesion of the first one. In fact to be a prequel it does not have the action and intrigue of "Lost". It does not show the motivations of the character of Pipa who is the protagonist. He does not speak about his traumas and motivations that lead to being a policeman and that lead to discovering things. He only mentions the past event once. There is no union between the main character of the film that we have already seen in this one, it is supposed to be a long time ago, these motivations are better marked.

Morally speaking, what can a good detective get away with? And should we just believe him, just because he is a good cop? Why shouldn't we believe him though? Morality is a funny thing ... to a certain degree. The movie has not just a case that has to be resolved (although if you count one from the beginning there is already two of them), but a mystery surrounding the main character.

Well told and nicely edited this works in my humble opinion. Having said that, for some it may feel a bit predictable and they may see a couple of things before they are revealed. Still the tension and the suspense is there and holds the whole thing together - the actors do their best too. If you are into crime/detective movies, you will likely dig this

(2020) Intuition/ La Corazonada (In Spanish with English subtitles) MYSTERY THRILLER

Adapted from the novel "La Virgen En Tus Ojos" / "The Virgin In Your Eyes" by Florencia Etcheves co-written and directed by Alejandro Montiel the second of three movies that has a young man riding his bike, purposely ran over by a driver. The next scene has Manuela Pelari or Pepi for short as she is played by Luisana Lopilato part of a rescuing operation task force. Pepi is working under the direction of her chief inspector, Francisco Juanez (Joaquín Furriel) along with five or more other people. One child managed to get saved while their is no hope for the other. At one point Juanez confronted the culprit himself but instead of turning himself in he chose to shoot himself with his own gun. And it is not long after the following day, this same department gets involved in another murder of a young lady, Gloriana Márquez (Delfina Chaves) murdered in her own bed. At the same time this was happening lead prosecutor, Fiscal Roger (Rafael Ferro) appoints Pipa to be in charge of the hit and run dead cyclist, Patricio Galván (Ignacio Hernández) killed at the opening we find out has a history with it's chief inspector, Francisco Juanez to which he had something to do with his wife's death, but was let out or found not guilty. And that Juanez would have more reasons to run him over, except that the person who ran him down was driving a red vehicle who does not own one. Roger wants Pipa to dig up evidence her superior chief inspector Juanez did indeed committed the act of hit and run, and also appoints Rodolfo if she ever needs anything.

I found this kinda confusing and boring and I can see there is a good idea in here somewhere I just don't feel like they executed it very well.

It was a bit slow and this didn't help it any when I was confused as I just started to loose interest.

The opening is something else in its own. It is so unnecessary and if they scrapped it they would have shaved time of a long Enough movie.

It kinda reminded me of a plot that could have been on True Detective But not as good as their stories.

So I would skip it I guess

Bad performances, misdirected and very forced dialogues. The history..? Very weak A disappointment
