Dangerous Animals

Me pareció una película entretenida, con buena tensión y momentos que realmente funcionan. No reinventa el género, pero sabe mantener el suspenso y tiene escenas bien logradas.

'"Dangerous Animals' is this year's 'Strange Darling': a thriller with some horror elements that makes a commentary on misogynistic violence. It doesn't quite work as a whole, as there's little character development and the plot is predictable and repetitive. However, Jai Courtney's over-the-top performance, an effective final girl, and some twisted scenes make it something of a hybrid between 'Jaws' and 'Saw.'

(Mauro Lanari) "127 Hours" ended with a tripartite split screen: man is an Aristotelian "politikon zoon," "no one saves himself alone," and to regain one's social nature, one must be prepared to sacrifice (amputate) a part of oneself and of one's masochistic isolation. I don't know how such a silly idea by Boyle became a success in 2010. Sean Byrne reiterates the concept by transferring it to a fish setting.

Had the misfortune to watch this after a recommendation. An absolute heap of crap. Sadistic, cliched, just awful. I lost interest after an hour and was forced to spend the next hour wishing time would pass quicker.

Wanted to like it more than I did. Felt too long, failed to capitalise on the premise, and it was far too freaking predictable.
