Unprepared reversal

The story is not bad, a little bit of puzzles are thrown out, and continuous playback reveals the bottom of the puzzle.

Reminiscent of another Spanish mystery film "The Invisible Guest", it is also an overwhelming reversal. The initial car accidents and requests for help from invisible guests seem more exciting.

This movie started as an escape and a car accident in the dark. After that, most of the time was in the morgue and indoors. The whole was darker, which did not suit my taste. However, the later disappearance of the female body for no reason and the appearance of various details about the male protagonist's wife also raised questions in my mind and attracted me to take a closer look.

The guidance at the beginning seemed to point to the story of a powerful woman who was very controllable oppressing the scum man, and the scum man was still playing tricks when he failed to kill. However, after reading countless films, I certainly know the results are simple, but I just can’t think of how to reverse it. . Later, the disappearance of the lover's innocence seemed to point to the male protagonist being mentally ill, and continued to watch with the doubt that he would not be mentally ill to explain everything. Until the end, the lover's revenge made everything reasonable.

However, the initial part feels a bit far-fetched. The male protagonist has to have a lot of brainpower to make up for the wife's conspiracy of fake death and revenge playing with the male protagonist in the applause.

The father and daughter who designed the whole show seemed to know this well. Through the lure of various details, the male lead made up everything, and finally confessed the crime. I didn't know the reason for the detective body part, nor did I want to go into it.

But the overall motivation and storyline are good, worth four stars.
