"Open Windows" is easy to visualize because it involves suspense and plays with technology such as our everyday devices. The problem is that it doesn't go further into the themes it presents.

Once all the action inside the hotel come to an end, the rest seems to go out wildly. Nacho Vigalondo imposes a breakneck pace ... the problem is that history doesn't keep up.
At one point, I had to go back a few minutes to see if there was a logical thread connecting everything. I don't consider that the problem is on the technical side but in the text. The concepts are good, but the rest ...

It is unfortunate that "Open Windows" waste the potential that its beginning promised.… Expand

The night of the battle of the hackers!

I have been longing to watch this film since it was out, only now it had happened. There are not many hacking film that could satisfy thoroughly. Well, I haven't found as impressive as the recent 'Who Am I'. This film was more like partially a found-footage type. Everything was from webcams and phone cams. Not exactly truthful to the reality. Even people with basic knowledge about computers would know that. But entertainment was there. I enjoyed it, mainly because of the speed and being an edgy.

Well, a contest winner is waiting in his hotel room for his dinner date with a celebrity in the later night. While he was updating his blog, someone hacks his computer and gives more contents for the blog than he had thought of. But soon it all plays out differently. Now he's the hacker's puppet, and must follow everything he says or the consequences would be serious. How far it all goes and how it all ends are the remaining story to tell us.

As I said not the best in this theme, but watchable film. Everything was a one night event. Slowly started and then picked up the pace before ending on a high. The end was not good, the twist. At least that's how I felt. Should have been better, yet acceptable. Elijah was good. I just checked it out after seeing his nice act in his latest Netflix film. The rest of the cast was fine too. A Spanish film in English language. Soon I'm going to check out the 'Colossal' from this same director. So it is a good time pass film and you might enjoy it as I did.

A work that is not innovative but knows how to take the plot and its narrative well, managing in a style similar to the recent Unfriended but with much better results.

What did the filmmakers expect when they took the lead actress of adult films? I am not surprised that the film turned out to be weak! The plot is full of logical inconsistencies, otherwise how to explain that applications like Utopia p2p areWhat did the filmmakers expect when they took the lead actress of adult films? I am not surprised that the film turned out to be weak! The plot is full of logical inconsistencies, otherwise how to explain that applications like Utopia p2p are not mentioned in a word? Even Elijah Wood does not save her game, and to be honest, he is more associated with the hobbit Frodo.… Expand
