The Invisible Guardian (2017)

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

How do you justify a crack investigator who goes through investigation with trigger - happy tear ducts and near hysterical ambience? You cannot! Particularly when this investigator is supposed to have been chosen specifically for her competence. There are a lot of grievances for this one, suffice it to say that it is a mediocre production with less than competent acting, nigh ridiculous script and the less said about the alleged mystery the better. I am sick - and - tired of emotionally broken investigator stereotype that celluloid is still selling. Mostly because you need one hell of a director to pull them off otherwise they are just annoying as hell and futile. Just like this movie.Photography is top - notch. Hence two stars.

This film was well directed by Fernando González Molina, made the audience totally engrossed and wanting more and more as time passed to know the outcome. Two actors stood out the most, being of the same character, the main actor, Amaia Salazar who was played by Marta Etura and the one who portrayed her as a child. I would have to say that I was more intrigued by Amaia's past than the actual case itself. And many things disturbed my mind, but sadly was never answered by the end of the movie. Firstly, I wanted to know what was the reason her mother hated her so much, calling her a "bitch" and saying that she wanted to eat her. Secondly, (maybe I missed it) what happened to her father? I never saw or heard of him in the present tense of the film. Thirdly, did her eldest sister Flora hate her so much because she never knew what her mother did to her as a child and think that Amaia simply abandoned her family as she often says in the movie? And since all this were never answered in the film, it makes me wonder still...I much recommend this movie to any.

I've rarely seen a picture/movie that is from a country which language I don't really comprehend. I was intrigued by the movie since I'm trying to learn Spanish and it's a movie from Spain, so first off - very good. The language is captivating, even though they speak waaaaay to fast for me. The suspense was there, and at the end it really got me. But first things first. The acting was really well done, the cinematography was really nicely done and most of the script I really enjoyed. However, there were a few things that I didn't really like, well, I didn't understand; - Why was her mother such a b**** to her, but not the other sisters? -Did Flora and Ros not know what their mother did to Amaia? -Did her father just sweep it under the rug and pretend everything was fine? - How did Flora know where to find Victor and Amaia? - After, I suspect, a good number of years as a cop, how come when she really needed to, it was like she had no clue how to defend herself? I would have thought she could at least have tried to disarm and knock him out before getting to the girl and rescue her. If it hadn't been for Flora's miraculous timing, they'd both be dead. - Are we sure Flora had nothing to do with it? I have even more questions, but I'll leave it here. I still think it was a good movie and I would probably recommend it to others who want to see a good suspense movie. But I would say that the ending is a bit vague and leaves you with a tonne of questions.

I started watching this movie with less expectation but it turned out to be one of the best serial killer movie I have seen. The atmosphere along with acting of all were top notch. The way several mysteries were dealt which were all connected were built was simply superb.. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.. Highly recommended for all who loves crime thrillers..
