Xavier Gutiérrez is a very good actor, and his acting is credible; unfortunately the plot it is not. Second half of the movie is a series of embarrassing and obvious situations which, on the other hand, have been badly done.

One of the most improbable plot ever
from normal to dark
This one isn't that simple to review because I would spoil it all. It doesn't have any suspense at all because you know exactly what is going to happen .
But it's the way he does it and how he does it that makes you being attached towards the screen. Perfect acting, perfect casting. What looks like a happy life slowly turns into a dark story.
Weird, you do know where this one is going and still you want to know how it ends, not bad at all.

Lights are on but nobody is home....
Unfortunately, there are so many things wrong with the narrative here that I just about gave up half way through... Javier Muñoz is an advertising executive who loses his job and his home. His confidence is truly shaken when he realises that he will not easily get another, and insult becomes injury when he is offered a six month unpaid internship. That appears to tip him over the edge and he starts to stalk the owners of his former home. Why? Well, maybe he has sociopathic tendencies (suddenly?) or maybe he is just a nasty piece of work, or both? The other cast (particularly Bruna Cusí) are no less likeable or trustworthy - indeed their shallowness is so overpowering as to instil a positive dislike in them altogether. The two Pastor brothers have created a phycological thriller that has nothing for us, the audience, to get a grip of. We lurch from one implausible scenario to another like Johnny Weissmuller grabs vines to swing from; and the noises he made back in the 1940s jungle might just make more sense!
