Intacto (2001)
6/10
Weird and Intriguing Tale About Fate, Luck and Gambling
8 December 2004
In an isolated casino in the middle of a desert, the mysterious Jewish Samuel (Max von Sydow), a survivor of the Holocaust, promotes weird bets, where the prize is the fate of persons and the life of the gambler. His former right arm is Federico (Eusebio Poncela), who has a situation with Samuel and becomes his enemy, looking for revenge. Federico meets Tomas (Leonardo Sbaraglia), a thief of a bank and unique survivor of a plane crash, through a life insurance policy and uses him to his vendetta against Samuel. The detective Sara (Mónica López), who lost her husband and daughter in a car accident, chases Tomas along his journey. 'Intact' is a weird and intriguing tale about fate, luck and gambling. The story has a kind of attraction, since the screenplay is original, the cast has great performances, the locations and photography are excellent, but I did not like the plot. My vote is six.
