The Wrath of God

Well paced thriller with good performance but whats the point of spending that much time watching to find the main question is still unanswered at the end. The answers are never given and the central character the writer is a really disgusting character who never acknowledges that it was his own careless behaviour which destroyed his family not the poor girl who filed a genuine lawsuit. The director never shows even one character make the point that it was never ever Luciana's fault but the writers who left a kid alone with unbalanced woman. The pace kept me watching only to have a disappointing end where the questions remain as open as ever. What a wasted effort!

I like international works and was happy to find this on Netflix. Perhaps my first Argentinian piece.

It is not great. It was not bad enough To not watch the entire movie. It's only 90 minutes and the plot seemed to move along okay. In other words it kept my attention. There is some bouncing around on the timeline so there were points I was a little confused, but I eventually sorted that out.

I found the lead character (Kloster) truly unlikable. By the end of the movie I was having almost a visceral reaction to him.

The other two primary leads are similarly unpleasant. None of these three are at all sympathetic and so the end (which throws in a surprise) left me cold and unsatisfied.

It is interesting that in the same weekend I watched this movie I also watched Spiderhead, which is fantastic. Of the two there is no comparison. They are not in the same league.

Watch Spiderhead and if you have time to waste give this one a try.

The movie theme hinges on the wife reading the letter from the lawyer on him getting sued for sexual Harrasment because that provided the tragic motivation for the suicide and the murders.

The moral question to ask was? Is the sexual harassment case justified and did she give him signals. Did it have to escalate when she could of said no to the kiss or rationally just said it was a mistake and moved on. She obviously had feelings for him and religious guilt. A preacher's daughter should forgive but I can see why he did not forgive her after her being a catalyst for the suicidal death of his demented wife and tragic manslaughter of his daughter.

The ending was a surprise and it was worth watching if you enjoy trying to predict endings to psychological thrillers and you will be surprised.

This could be a disconcerting film to some especially those who want a clear-cut ending. Some viewers might have expected quite a different outcome.

There is no quarrel about this stance. But what the film is trying to convey is that, in real life, what seems straightforward is not necessarily so. Could it be a streak of bad luck, a string of coincidences?

It's a well-scripted film. It's engaging and the viewer is hooked to find out how it will end. It was a surprise ending but something that is totally plausible.

The main actors dish out subdued and limned performances. Macarena Achaga, Diego Peretti and Juan Mimijin deserve praise.

The film makes you think of its basic point: is perfect revenge possible? It's apropos that it makes use of Odile and Odette as a cinematic device all the more to illustrate what we take for granted: that good and evil exist in this life.

Not knowing what it was I binge watched this movie. It wasn't a waste of time. I like psychologycal thrillers and this is one of the better ones. It's not too ,,scary,, but still makes you bang your head in the wall time to time. I recommend it to the ones who liked The girl on the train, Thelma or Sightless. You do have to have a certain taste to appreciate the movie as it is but you definitely should try.
