(BluR) Todo bien hasta el segundo o tercer acto. Se confunde involuntariamente lo que quiere confundirse voluntariamente, todo calculado, manipulado y el toque gay, qué impostado. Final horrible. Cannon es la mejor

BradWesley123's Movie Journal- August 2018 (27 movies items)

" FilmStruck- 1hr. 55min. First Viewing Deathtrap is an absurd film that continuously gets nuttier as it goes on, but damn is it fun. It always goes one step further; each twist having to top and/or obliterate the last. And, weirdly, they almost always work, outside of the ending, which is too cute for its own good. It's a frothy, outlandish film, featuring unsurprisingly assured direction from Sidney Lumet, and two great performances by Michael Caine and Christopher Reeve, in sync with the movie"
