    Slow-paced mystery with a abrupt conclusion

    El Aviso builds up as something great, but falls flat with the ending delivery. It tried to be something meticulous an intricate, but the complexity of the premise might have threw this movie off.

    In El Aviso, we follow Jon on a attempt to solve the mystery behind the shooting that injuried his friend. Jon goes far on hi theory on a Number 23-ish vibe that I really appreciate.

    The problem is that this is the extent of what this movie is about.

    Jon's investigation seems lunatic, to say the least. El Aviso does not show us any proof of concept other than Jon's realizations and especulatinos over hard facts he finds.

    With a slow pace that might bore you, El Aviso fails to conclude the over-the-top theory Jon untails, leaving us with a sense of casualty that hurts our brains, no conclusion to what is going on.

    Good movie deserving better rating

    I was apprehensive by seeing the rating of 5.9. However, there is a surprise; the movie has to be watched with little focus, and I am sure you appreciate the take. I did not agree with the ending as a small portion of logic missing. The acting and the screen play are perfect. Please watch and post your review... surely deserving more than 7 rating.

    Mixed feelings

    And it's not just our main character who has to fight with those, but also the viewer. I don't think anyone missunderstands what this is about or finds it completely uninteresting. For some it might be tough to watch though. If you have a main character with flaws like that, the connection might be lost (not just in translation).

    But it's what makes this thriller/psyhological drama interesting. It does give us interconnecting stories. While at first we can only guess, it becomes clearer as time goes by what this is all about. Of course that has to do with the main character explaining it to us. Wicked/good idea, that could have done with a few more highlights, but overall more than a decent attempt and "thrilling" enough

    Good movie, but had some holes

    Without giving away a lot, the movie was good. The story takes a little dialogue to get going, and it doesn't make a whole lot of sense at first. But, the story does develop and after a little, keeps you intrigued. The move could have been a solid 7-8, but the ending brought it down 1 - 2 stars. Overall, good acting, original storyline, and shot fairly well. That ending though...
