The River Murders (2011)
Well...
I'm actually disappointed. The plot seems to built up nice in the beginning but in the end seems ridiculous. Not that I doubt Ray's character to be able to remember 100 women he just had one night stand with but rather how the killer gets to know that and how he is able to pile up the bodies faster that terminator looking for Sarah Conner.
The killer is revealed pretty early in the movie and is a rather empty caricature of some religious fanatic. I believe if they had spent more time on the killer's psychology and how he gets to his victims, the film would be more credible.
The only part I enjoyed was the rather sarcastic FBI agent played by Mr Slater but that might be just 10 min of the entire movie. I definitely do not recommend this film.
Alatriste (2006)
The story
I think that the finality of each intrigue is not well defined, you don't really get to the finality of them.The film just jumps from one date to another and starting a new one without finishing the previous one. The effect is like the film seems a bit slow so times and you loosing the main stream of it.You don't really get to understand how all the characters get involved. The reason is maybe because the film is based on 5 books.
The really nice thing is the realism I think, the fights and environment really gives a taste of 17th century. Also there is no happy ending like in most of the Hollywood films or some invincible hero.I was pretty surprised how Viggo's Spanish is doing, I'm not native but his Spanish is good !
