Minha Culpa

Watching this movie felt like I had just randomly grabbed a new release from the romance section and started reading. The opening scenes set up nothing but cliched tropes with what seemed to be stock characters and overdone situations. Except that this story ended up being really entertaining anyway. Noah and Nick act like characters that are written instead of real teens, until they suddenly don't. I actually kind of believed that they had reasons they would end up liking each other. Instead of groaning about how they were just thrown together for the sake of the plot, I ended up caring about their relationship working out. I didn't want anything bad to happen to them, and I wasn't counting the minutes until they were off the screen. Now, the third act climax deflated much of that feeling when we get a standard action movie finale, but once it all wraps up, I was back to wanting to see the couple succeed. I don't think I would even mind a sequel, which they seemed to be planning based on the last lines of the film. I am sure that there will be a lot of people who will watch this movie who won't get caught up in the story like I allowed myself to--some viewers will just focus on the flaws, which would be easy to do. But for anyone just looking for lighter-than-air entertainment, you might have the right mindset for this one.

Culpa Mía, reminded me a bit of Through My Window (A través de mi ventana)...but with street racing, illegal fights, and a violent backstory...and I loved it! It's based on a Wattpad novel by Mercedes Ron, which after two back to back watching a of the film I went to order from Amazon (can't wait to read the book(s)).

The film has both a sexy hate to love story and action in the form of both street racing and underground fighting. It is fast-paced and beautiful filmed...leaving no trace me for boredom.

The story is about 17 year old Noah, who is brought by her newly wed mother Rafaella to live in her new stepfather's mega-mansion on the coast. There she must live with an older stepbrother named Nick. Nick's father William thinks he is this perfect golden boy, but Noah discovers that the true reality is that he is a smoking, partying, street racing, underground fighting bad boy, whose life gets Noah in trouble.

What Nick doesn't know is that his angsty beautiful new stepsister has a troubled past and a few secrets of her own.

These two clash in an epic passionate way and it was an enjoyable ride to watch. I highly recommend this to fans of romance, particularly dark romance...and I think action fans might enjoy this film as well. In fact it might just be the perfect date night film as it has a little something for everyone!

Beautiful sets, great costumes and a marvelous soundtrack too!

I watched this because it came up on my Amazon prime as a movie I would like. I thought it was a horror movie and I was watching it in the background as I was messing with my phone. It was not a horror movie, but much to my horror It was a weird teenage erotic thriller. I have to laugh when I write that. This movie had like 15 plots. It was all over the place. It wanted to be fight club and it wanted to be the fast and the furious and then it wanted to be some like family drama. The girl looks like kristen stewart. I feel like I will go to jail for watching this. My favorite quote was "you are my stepsister and you're 17" 😂

I really don't get the love this movie is receiving from so many viewers. It's so terribly dull. There might be something interesting in the chemistry between the main couple and some scenes are hotter than those we see in a usual movie of the week. But everything else just doesn' work and the movie doesn't trust its main plot, adding up some seriously uninteresting and unconvincing stuff. The constant intervention of the annoying score. The attempt to emulate "Fast and Furious"-like action. The absolute cheesiness of the mystery... Anyway, each own with their likes and dislikes, but I really felt deceived by some of the reviews. I think we might have seen different movies.

If you judge the film with the criteria for piece of life dramas, it is definitely lacking. Because it is made of fairy-tales stuff. It is Cinderella, moving from shambles to a palace, where she meets a benevolent king and a Prince Charming. It is about a girl, beating hard-core men at their own game - drift driving. It is about the bad boy with a golden heart. About Red Riding Hood, saved by Prince Charming and the Hunter from the Big Bad Wolf. And most of all, about romantic love. The film is made fairly competently, it is dynamic and there wasn't a dull moment. The lead actors wouldn't be remembered for subtlety and nuance, but they are definitely good-looking and have a palpable chemistry. Don't judge and expect too much and you can actually enjoy it.
