It has Mamet's cool, philosopher's finesse, but none of Borges's fun.

"Intacto's" cerebral machinations distance the viewer from emotional connections with its characters, but it is a dynamic piece of work from an exciting new voice.
01/13/03
Well-acted, well-directed and, for all its moodiness, not too pretentious.
01/10/03
It is von Sydow who gives Intacto its gravity, resonance, soul.

Top CriticEven if you get lost in the labyrinth of the plot -- which is not just understandable but almost inevitable -- you will almost certainly enjoy yourself trying to make it all make some sort of cosmic sense.

Top CriticIt's a nicely detailed world of pawns, bishops and kings, of wagers in dingy backrooms or pristine forests.
01/09/03
A suspense thriller with a brain and a heart.

The brilliance of the picture lies in the way it carefully lets information loose a little at a time, so that we're drawn into this world and captivated by it -- until we finally understand everything only at the very end.
01/06/03
It's an original idea and has the advantage of keeping the viewer guessing.
01/04/03
An intellectual exercise, but with not much intellect and too much exercise.

Top Critic... creates the same world of devils and innocents that grounds so much of Spain's modern, seeped-in-Satanic-evil horror, recast in a secular cinematic vocabulary.
01/03/03
As it stands, it's certainly intriguing and occasionally engrossing. However, it's missing that extra something special to make it more than a diversionary cinematic offering.
01/03/03
Sleek and arty.

Top CriticAlthough Sam's concentration camp backstory flirts with tastelessness, Mr. Fresnadillo charges Intacto with enough well-visualized oddity and surrealism to keep it interesting.
01/03/03
Top CriticA provocative thriller filmed with unique visual flair. Bravo!
01/02/03
As it stands, it only works as an alternative to Jackass: The Movie.
12/27/02
A sharp brainteaser of a film, a compelling mind game you compulsively play along with.
12/25/02
Top CriticA stylish, good-looking movie (much like Leonardo Sbaraglia).
