Out of luck ?,
By M. B. Alcat "Curiosity killed the cat, but sa... (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Intacto (DVD)
The premise of this film is that some people can steal luck from others. The idea is bizarre but interesting, and the director (Juan Carlos Fresnadillo) and some great actors managed to make a great movie out of it.The main character, Thomas (Leonardo Sbaraglia), the only survivor of a tragic crash that killed the other 236 passagers in the plane, is one of the "fortunate" people that can steal luck. He is not so fortunate, though, because he is arrested by the police while he is in a hospital recovering from the crash, due to the fact that he is a thief. Despite that, not all is lost for him. A strange man called Federico (Eusebio Poncela) helps him to escape, on the condition that Thomas will bet for him in a secret and very exclusive ring of betting, and that they will split the earnings. As a consequence, Thomas is introduced to to a secret society of "fortunate" people addicted to betting all kind of things in different games. The stakes are high: money, houses, people... The questionn is: how far is Thomas ready to go?. On the whole, I can say that I highly enjoyed this movie, and that I recommend it to you. I have never seen a plot similar to this one. Whether that means that I don't watch enough movies, or that is an extremely original film, I don't know. All the same, watch it: you have nothing to lose, and a lot to gain :) Belen Alcat

One of the most boring movie,
By The best reviewer "set_trust" (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Intacto (DVD)
The movie turned out to be totally bizzare concept. Can somebody steal luck or something. My whole Friday evening was spoiled after watching this movie and girlfried bitched on me too. The movie is so dark and gloomy, the music is so melanchonic. Above all the story takes you nowhere.

what a great movie!,
By hkh-m "as ever, i remain..." (portland, or) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Intacto (DVD)
i was very pleasantly surprised by how much i liked this film. it's suspenseful, well-acted, lovely to look at and... original! true, near the beginning of the film you have almost no clue as to what is going on but i don't find that it detracts from the film as a whole. too many films nowadays are spelled out, cookie-cutter snores i'd rather not have watched them.there are moments in the film that have this sort of silent mystery: like when the police woman is getting into bed and she just stares at the painting across from her bed (you understand why later) or when max von sydow's character is slowly getting ready for a visitor by putting on his hood. there is this wonderful mounting tension through the whole film and by the end my husband and i were deeply engrossed in a conversation about just whose "luck" had won out.
