Awareness

A pleasant Spanish surprise. The film has a very original premise. The protagonist is a Projector, he has the ability to create illusions in the minds of others and it's very original. His father is also a likeable Berlin from Money Heist and he has a nice friend, Maria Pedraza (coincidentally the teen hostage from Money Heist, who then grew up to be a proper babe). A secret agent agency is after them and another Projector appears on the scene. It's very well paced, there's a lot of action (the fights are very stiff and have a lighter Matrix feel to them, so I'm not too put off by them), but I liked the well dosed twists and turns, and overall, thanks to the novel premise, it's an interesting film that got my attention. Fine for me and pleased with the playful and cool ideas (the spider illusion!). This needs an American remake with a proper A-list budget. 7/10. (07/02/2024)
