Pleasant to follow.

Orígenes Secretos (or Unknown Origins for the English title) is a Spanish movie from David Galán Galindo. He did a good job making this story entertaining. It's well shot, with plenty of mild action, a good suspenseful and mysterious plot, and a cast that did gave convincing performances. It's a modern superhero movie without the usual supernatural powers. Instead you get an investigation about a serial killer, that uses comic books as his inspirations. It's pleasant to follow, with some humorous touches. The ending could have been slightly better but overall it's certainly worth a watch if you like some hunting for a serial killer stories.

Spanish crime fighting cocktail that delivers....

"Unknown Origins" is a Spanish crime fighting cocktail with a "kick" and lots of "punch" that really delivers on all fronts.

This flick is perfect blend of unashamedly shlocky superhero stick and crime drama that just works. The clever cross over between the world of real crime fighting and the imagined world of crime fighting super hero's, draws this tale neatly into one very watchable package.

Acting is top notch, as are characterisations and story. The only downside is the speed at which dialogue is delivered, making it hard at times to keep up, if, like me, you need to read the subtitles (the film is in Spanish).

Nonetheless, its been a while since I've enjoyed a film this much.

Great stuff.

8/10.
