The most unnecessary movie ever
keller-2065222 November 2023
I finished watching this movie on Netflix and I asked myself what was the reason for the production of this movie, and why Netflix served us these cold noodles. After subtitles warning in the opening that the film is based on a true story, but what the viewer will see is all imagination, the business begins to unfold, and it becomes very clear that this is a crime, such as can be found in the crime section of any daily newspaper. What did the writer director find in this story something special, probably only he knows. There is no tension, no purpose, except for an investigator in trouble with herself and her strange relationship with her co-investigator, and with her superiors. In reality, she is not a police investigator. Disappointment and a waste of time, according to what is written in the closing credits, you can find out the end of the film that remains hanging in the air, in every newspaper in Colombia.

If you want intrigue, mystery and suspense DON'T WATCH THIS!
Brit-3285324 November 2023
Erm, what the actual heck? I was looking forward to a 'whodunnit' with intrigue, mystery and suspense, but no, not this movie! It could have been literally 1 minute long because that's how long it took to know the outcome. I continued to the end because I thought, no professional writer would surely have written this script where within 1 minute we know the killer and the reason why they did it. I honestly thought there was going to be some big revelation at the end and that it was not in fact this very obvious person with a very obvious motive, but guess what, no, the first 1 minute literally explained everything. How bizarre that someone would put material out like this and be okay with this standard. In reality they should have just made a 1 minute Youtube short and saved everyones time that they'll never get back.

Appalling

What's with the whispering? The actress is frustrating and overacting every scene, always striking a pose instead of talking loud enough to be engaging. The acting overall is very poor as well, there's a lack of empathy displayed by the main characters. The writing doesn't help either, there is no developing of the characters or a thorough explanation of how they got there. The editing and direction is very appalling as well. I think there's an assumption everybody is familiar with the story, which I was not. What is the point of this show? Like many other say the plot is obvious from the beginning. You get better storytelling from YouTube channels.

Such a waste of time
defasse27 November 2023
I can't believe I stuck with this film for as long as I did. So predictable right from the start. The story line, if you want to call it that lacked development, lacked imagination and was convuluded at the end. It's as though they were trying to be original and surprising and come up with something new. The only scenes that were kind of cool was the hairstyles, make-up, and the clothes. The acting wasn't terrible but it wasn't the best either. Netflix, you can do better than this, especially what you charge your customers. I was going to give it a 1 rating but I changed my mind because I've never done that before.
