Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

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

kenjha In London, a Spanish woman finds passion with a stranger a week before she is to be married. The main attraction here (other than the leading lady) is a somewhat clever plot twist. Unfortunately, there's little else. Making his first feature film, writer-director Parkhill tries to put in every trick he learned from watching MTV videos. It comes across as amateurish in terms of story and direction, botching whatever potential the film had of being a decent thriller. As the temperamental Carmen, Verbeke is hot looking but her acting is lukewarm. As the Latin lover, Bernal doesn't do much except look intense. D'Arcy, who looks like Norman Bates in "Psycho," is rather bland as the ditched husband.

daniel Carbajo López Carmen, a Spanish girl with a dark past, is going to marry Barnaby, a rich man who is a bit stupid, but loves her. At the hen party, she kisses Kit, and she feels an overwhelming passion that brings her to doubt between marrying Barnaby or going out with Kit. The acting is not bad, and the actors have great feeling between them, but the first hour is so slow, so absurd, so incoherent, that bores and annoys terribly. Surprisingly, the end, when all is explained, results quite original and quite good! The plot has some spectacular twist that make the end totally unexpected! Despite that last, most of the film is only an excuse to arrive to this end, so the film is not precisely good. The global idea is original and astonishing, but the way of taking it to pictures is not well done. If you see it, you'll bore 1 hour and you will enjoy a lot during 30 min, you choose.

jjesto The first half of the story is kind of cheesy, centering on a love triangle, with a pouty, overly dramatic young woman that overreacts to everything, claiming she has a bad temper, so she pouts some more, bitch slaps, throws little fits, to the point of stupidity---so, she's attractive and a little nutty, thats not an original character. I'd read that the film was a thriller and kept waiting for something to change the tone and had just about given up when BANG, there is a major plot twist and then the real story unfolds and takes on a completely different direction. The ridiculousness of the first half of the film was then justified, pretty much anyway. Its not an excellent film, but was worth the watch after all. It was unique indeed.

brandon-radisic Having seen most of Bernal's films, or at least everything available in the US, I've grown to like him greatly as an actor, thus explaining my motivation for renting this. The description given on the jacket, added with the blurb equating it with Memento (which was a very entertaining mind-boggle), talked me in. Call it a two-for-two deal.Reading through the commentary left by others, I'm troubled by the negativity being attached. Exactly when did it become a crime to invoke plot-twists as a story device? The last I knew, filmmakers such as Hitchcock and Preminger relied upon them incessantly. A twist in plot, if carried off well, can satisfy viewers and fire the imagination.Personally, I find the romantic drama as a genre in dire need of a wake-up call. Films such as this one, Closer, Unfaithful, Wicker Park, and very few others, are daring to attempt something original, whether it be a more frank look at relationships, a less clichéd or sexist view of infidelity, or a new take on the love triangle... and by new I mean new in both this film and Wicker Park. Rather than recycle Shakespeare, Jane Austen, or An Affair To Remember for the forty-billionth time, the director and cast broke new ground.This is not a perfect film, and really, honestly, who gets entertainment from "perfect" films? Admiration, yes. Respect, yes. Are perfect films fun though? That's an argument for a forum... I gave this an eight out of ten, with two points off for those imperfections. The three leads are solid; the story is clever and solid enough. The two points to perfection can easily be forgiven.I had fun watching this movie.
