Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Despite star cast, terrible Hollywood "make-over" of a great movie. No chemistry between actors, feels like a typical American run-of-the mill police movie whereas the original is much much more (Argentinian 70's era, love-story, human condition, ...). Kidman acts like a stiff wax doll (actually looks like one), and even Roberts completely over-acts. Besides the only saving grace Chiwetel Ejiofor, totally unconvincing. Go watch the original, incredible chemistry between Soledad Villamil and Ricardo Darín, great performances by Guillermo Francella and Pablo Rago, atmosphere, music. As usual Hollywood massacres a foreign movie.

Just an invitation to waste your time in this movie, nothing else except the performance of Julia only The movie is the last 30 min only Not recommended

If it wasnt for the fact I promised myself to finish every film I started, I would have buried moved on to another motion picture....ten times. The only good part in my opinion was the ending...and even that was cliche.Perhaps it is a hollywood bad habit but...the relationship between some of the characters seemed forced and fake. I felt as tho there was no point to some of the scenes, that there was too much unexplained details.Watch it at your time's own risk.

This film is far better than than 6.2 rating it has received which seems mostly to come from those wanting to compare it to the Argentinian original. I am rating this as a separate film and not comparing it to the original. The acting is top notch and believable. Ejiofor, Kidman and Roberts all do a great job. It's an interesting crime thriller with some twists and turns. It's about a team of rising investigators, along with their supervisor, whose worlds are suddenly torn apart during a homicide investigation that hits close to home. It was completely watchable and entertaining. I'm not saying this is a high brow, blow your socks of type of movie, but it certainly deserves a far higher rating. I am certainly not saying that the original might not be much better. I have it on my list to watch but in my opinion, if you like thrillers and movies with some twists and turns and want to be entertained I recommend giving it a chance.
