Perdida

There are a lot of Spanish-speaking crime dramas on Netflix. And Argentina is the second country after Spain, the film library of which contains some quite decent pieces. Perdida is, however, boring, moreover with a meaningless plot, but surprisingly decent filmmaking. The film is good for when you’re half asleep, but such a topic would deserve something better.

A decent Spanish crime drama, the last 40 minutes of which turn into a satisfying thriller. The story revolves around a policewoman whose friend disappeared 20 years ago and since she hasn't been found yet, she is declared dead and the case is closed, but the strong bond of friendship is stronger than any verdict, so the protagonist searches for the truth on her own and soon finds herself in danger. The first hour is a little slow, but once the bodies start to pile up and the truth slowly starts to come out, it's a decent watch. 6/10 (2019.11.25)
