Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

thisissubtitledmovies excerpt, more at my location - From the mind of the darkly comic Esperados, comes the feature length debut of young Spanish director Juan Carlos. Intacto makes tangible the concept of luck as characters can steal, win, barter or risk their fortuitousness in a series of gambles that range from the familiar surroundings of a casino to the deadly world of Russian roulette. Intacto is a film full of fresh, vibrant ideas and a philosophy on luck based on the ideas of Immanuel Kant that are transferred onto screen by Fresnadillo, whose keen directorial sense includes an eye for impressive panoramics and a use of vivid colour, which are highly reminiscent of fellow Spanish director Pedro Almodovar.Armed with a team of highly skilled actors, both known and unknown, Intacto is presented with panache and poise that is both a success cinematically and for the studio that gambled on this emerging and talented director.

vagabondjonson I really liked this movie. I think a lot of people didn't because they got hung up on the potentially confusing aspects of the concept. It doesn't come out and hit you in the face with the rules for this game that the characters play which is a good change for people who like smart, understated stories and don't need everything spelled out for them in suppositional monologues from secondary characters. This is a great movie for just collecting data about the story until the end. Has great themes of sacrifice and redemption and pretty good cinematography too. Lots of other movies have tried to be serious about quantifying "luck" and where those movies failed, this one succeeds because it doesn't hang itself with specifics. There's no way to guage how "special" you are. Just spin the chamber and hope for the best. You will get a lot more out of this movie if you don't try to "figure it out". Just accept what you see until the movie's over, then appreciate the poetry of it.

waltcosmos Are there really adults out there like the people in this movie? Who believe in such mumbo-jumbo, that is? Blind luck, as opposed to a Lincolnesque luck, may be considered a gift from the gods. So how can it possibly be stolen when someone touches you? Consider. If you're lucky, and you want to keep that luck, get used to spending the rest of your life ALONE in bed, pal, cause sex is all ABOUT touching. So THAT'S out. And what's up with those morons running through the woods? The one's who should be cheering are the one's who smashed into the trees. Because if your idea of being lucky is WINNING that race and then playing Russian Roulette with five bullets in a six shooter, then you need help. And by the way, suppose you win? Then what? I didn't see any legal papers being drawn up saying that you now own the casino. Samuel's life didn't seem to be all that spectacular even then. I mean, what exactly did he do except walk around a casino all day making more money? Which he never spent. This is SPAIN! Or a province under the hegemony of Spain. Everybody dresses like their lives depended on it. But consider. Anything Samuel can buy, like, for dinner, I can too! Only ten to a thousand times cheaper. I shop at WinCo foods and hobnob with the great unwashed. What do I care? Another problem I had was with Sara. Why was she trying to kill that guy? All he did was rob a bank. So what? No, I'm sorry. There's no reason to be called The Luckiest Man in the World if all it means is you have to face off with still another tired contender and murder him after he tries for the umpteenth time to murder you. Some life.

findlg This film unraveled a current mystery.Is it possible, to take away someone else's luck or fortune? And if so how does this happen? (and if it does happen), Is this a theft when it happens? How is a gift something that takes away from someone else, rather than augments, or elevates or enhances a value? Do humans need to temp fate? Or does fate temp us to make us more authentic and make choices truer of our own nature? How are these things happening to oneself at this very moment? And how have these seemingly invisible transactions taken place recently? This film unraveled in me this very elusive discourse. I know it's hard to base science on this, to measure such things, to predict such things in the future out of it's own behaviour. I know it's hard to quantify these things.However, the film does say, it exists through transaction. Much like induction exists through a change of current.I cannot say more succinctly as now that it has opened a window into my own heart.
