A very curious thriller, which deals with a revenge , a writer who might be a criminal ,-but for instance,how would a man my age be able to drown a lifeguard in the prime of life?- a woman who was his secretary and sees her family die one by one ; is it a divine intervention ?An act of God? The writer invokes the Bible , particularly Exodus , and its " eye for an eye,tooth for a tooth "
Are all these deaths pure coincidences ? Or deus ex machina? ; and which is very rare,even the theory of probability is hinted at : the journalist tossing the coin to be sure that "the law of large numbers tells us that as the number of tossings gets larger ,the mean will get close to 1/2 "But a random variable, is, by definition , something you can't be totally sure of...
Diego Peretti ,who resembles Al Pacino ,looks like the embodiment of the devil : but hasn't he got extenuating circomstances? The scene when his beloved daughter is jumping on the bed (first real ,then a film) is perhaps the best in the whole movie , thoroughly renewing the hackneyed flashback .The final picture ,with the omnipresence of crosses, is ,in its own way, an unexpected end.
It's full of plot holes ,for sure (but isn't it the case in most of the thrillers?) , but this work from Argentina deserves more than its poor rating.
