Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJaula is the Spanish word for cage.
- GoofsAfter the motorcyclist had a violent spill in trying to avoid crashing into the little girl; Símon and his wife take the disorientated child directly to the hospital rather than call and wait for an ambulance. However, no mention is made of how the cyclist fared by the couple or the medical staff at the hospital. The cyclist may have been killed or at least severely injured but this fact was completely ignored thus interrupting the train of thought for the viewer.
- Alternate versionsTheatrical version begins with "Álex de la Iglesia presenta" (Álex de la Iglesia presents). When the movie was released in Netflix a month and a half later, this was changed for "Netflix presenta" (Netflix presents).
Featured review
I'll be honest, this movie is nothing special.
The only two great things I would like to point out are:
Everything else here is mediocre. Some sequences are literally facepalm, while others flow well, and take you to the end of the movie. Some things remain unexplained, and that creates some plot holes. The ending is a bit hasty, though.
The only two great things I would like to point out are:
- The plot idea on which the film is based, which is remarkably original, although it is surrounded by events that are anything but original, sometimes almost cliché. Nothing astonishing, but it does his job, and that's enough.
- The direction, which manages to keep the viewer on their toes when necessary. Climax moments are well sustained.
