While the concept idea behind this movie is interesting and presented quite well on the synopsis on the back of the DVD cover, then the movie turned out to be less than mediocre. And while the nature of the concept was repetitive, then the movie itself turned out to be bothersome.
It should be said that the acting was quite good, and there was a great performance load resting on the shoulders of Andrea Montenegro and Luis Fernando Bohorquez, as they were essentially the only two people performing in the movie. And they more than delivered, despite having a fairly weak script to work with.
"Wake Up and Die" (aka "Volver a morir") can easily be summarized as "Groundhog Day" with murder.
I was disappointed with the end result of this movie, as I had hoped for something more given a rather interesting and well-presented synopsis.
There was some pretty good camera-work and editing throughout the movie, but it wasn't sufficient to lift up the movie.
