A sort of Spanish Se7en
12 August 2017
Warning: Spoilers
I am surprised that no one yet has compared this dark, bleak and totally hopeless crime movie, and not thriller, with the David Fincher's masterpiece. Nearly same scheme, where two cops, very moving characters, stop at nothing to nail a serial killer specialized in old women rape and brutal murders. Useless to say that this movie is definitely not for sissies, and you have here a real, true, awesome masterpiece, a billion miles away from Hollywood craps, and not purely American...The ending reminded me a French crime flick from 1975 called L'ALPAGUEUR. I won't describe further, for those who know the Philippe Labro's feature. The trailer of this film can mistake you; it suggests a thriller, with a sort of climax involving the Pope visit in Madrid. I repeat, that is NOT a thriller, but an authentic film noir, depressing at the most. I highly recommend it.
