The real gems in this film are not the leads and big names, but how the story is structured and what makes characters distinctive. As a murder mystery drama, this is a very poignant film. More often than not, there are not a lot of emotions in the mystery or thriller genre, but this one is different - it has well-built emotional scenarios and those moments are not redundant but it strengthens the timeline of what happens now and then. The necklace is one of the rhetorical questions as a great example. The movie starts out a bit unfocused but as long as you stay on and pay attention to small talks or things, it eventually becomes quite intriguing. But this film may not suit everyone because it's bit too complicated, however if you're not a simple guy who enjoys a mind-challenge once in a while, then this is for you - a good surprise of something or someone that may have never caught your attention before, now suddenly plunges into your scope that ushers you to a nice well-done climax.

A Suspense with a Solid Climax
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, oh. Is it over yet?!
I love "whodunnits" - real mysteries...But I hate long drawn out ones with poor acting by 90% of the cast. Seriously, the plot was believable but the unraveling of it was a sheer experience in attempting to stay awake as it was very redundant and b o r i n g if not full of mis-steps. Again, the acting was the worst and certainly pulled the plot down to the ground as a poorly constructed mysterey.
Good...
Stop those low-budget Mexican dramas (I watched the dubbed version for Spanish, to give the dramatic load of Latin dramas),adorable, fun, full of holes and inappropriate situations, unfinished scenes, but engaging... It reminded me of the excellent "Entre Knives and Secrets "kept the proper proportions, of course ...
