He thinks he's found it with the beautiful Rebeca Solis, the wife of the owner of the hotel where he stays on business. Rebeca wants nothing more than to escape from her husband and after Arturo falls in love, she asks him to help her get rid of him. The plan goes without a hitch but just as they think they are going to get away with murder, they receive an anonymous letter from a witness to the crime.

Reviews
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
alexfromhorn 3.7/10 are definitely not enough points here, that's why I have to write this review. And because there is none. At first I have to say it's not a thriller as written in the genre. I'd say it's some kind of a mix between crime/drama/erotic. Yes I know strange mix, but the erotic part isn't that big so I wouldn't call it soft porn by far, although in the first minutes of the movie I thought it would go this way and that is probably why it was rated so low. The story is about two people who fall in love and want to murder her husband to get together and get his money. Sounds extremely basic and it is in many ways but its also fun because screenplay and acting were pretty good. The budget wasn't the biggest but it also wasn't necessary for the plot. How the plot developed was good and well executed and it had its thrilling moments. I hate love stories but I think this was OK because of the crime aspects a lot of turning points and the ending. So I'd give it a 5.4 but I'm rounding it up to 6 because I think its momentary points of 3.7 are not enough by far.
