Rest in Peace

This clever thriller really got me in and kept me guessing. It's the story of a devoted family man who takes the desperate measure to disappear in order to protect his wife and children from a ruthless loan shark. Much of the interest from that point in the movie comes from the brilliant acting by Joaquin Furriel who conveys the heartbreak of losing his family entirely through his demeanour and facial expressions. It's a sacrifice that I think few people would make. His new life, and that of his family unfold in very believable and poignant ways, but as you watch them there is a constant sense that the new arrangement can't last. The final part of the movie is gripping and ultimately surprised me. I thought that the ending was perfect, and like all really satisfying endings it was thought provoking, leaving me wondering how things would pan out from that point.
