Although enjoyable as an old-fashioned thriller, The Body (El Cuerpo) ultimately disappoints.
Overall it's a good watch. OK, it takes almost two hours to tell a slim story, but you don't lose interest.
The problem was that it spent far too much of those two hours telling a fairly predictable tale before speeding through a satisfying explanation.
It might be that I found the ending rushed because of the fast cuts and subtitles. But it would have deserved another star with a slightly tighter build up and more time for the wrapping-up.
