I wasn't expecting much from Bajo la Rosa as, at the time I saw it, it was only rated 6.3 on IMDb. Was it an intense film? Yep. Everyone played their parts with great ferocity. Even though the film and pacing were stagey in parts, it still held my interest.

I gotta admit, though, that there was some predictability to the outcome of Bajo la Rosa. If you've seen enough films, it practically telegraphed where it was headed.

That said, what kept the movie from being a run of the mill kidnap film were the trials and tribulations of the family whose child was kidnapped. Plus, the antagonist was devilishly wicked. Recommended.

I agree completely with kire1975. This was a kind of sadism porn. I felt sick seeing it, and dirty after leaving the theater because I had taken part in its showing by being in the audience. It was part of a film festival, and I'm amazed they showed it.

I'm not a prude either, and not usually judgmental at all. But this was a sick film, sick at its core. And not even that slick. I think I get the point - but the point is sick, too. What were they thinking?...

Very good plot and excellent performances. The soundtrack could have added another star, as well as photography. For those who like films that portray the reality, this is a must-see film. The end took away his last star .. 7/10 a movie to watch!
