    No puedo creer que se hayan equivocado es EL CRIMEN FERPECTO. Asi es, con el titulo solo imaginen los complicados lios en los que se mete el personaje principal. España volvio a hacerlo. Esta pelicula muestra la kryptonita de James Bond. No quiero adelantarme por que les cuento, la trama es excitante, te reiras, te enojaras y si lloras lo entendere, no les miento, y las expresiones, woooooof son excelentes actores.

    This was a fun little black comedy that sometimes went too much in the direction of the black and left behind some of the comedy. Some of the situations are definitely harrowing and you end up thinking what would you do if it was happening to you. The ending was ludicrous though and the main character was too unlikable no matter how psychotic Lourdes is.

    Alex De la Iglesia is an expert connoisseur of the bizarrerie he likes to have in his films, and here it works perfectly. the ludicrous ending is the only big problem of this ultra hilarious noir comedy.

    This movie proves that there's more of Spanish film industry than Pedro Almodovar. It has a very good story with and excellent plot,it has a a very ironic type of humor. The cast makes very good performances. I has very good twists and the best of all is at the end of the movie

    (The Ferpect Crime : ) I kid you not, flixster buddies, this is the most spontaneous laughing I've done since Shaun of the Dead. It's been a good little while. And before that, it was Napoleon Dynamite. I can't remember the time before that : ) Of course if you didn't laugh at Shaun of the Dead or Napoleon Dynamite, then I guess this won't mean much to you. Brilliant acting, brilliant script, brilliant directiing.

    Toledo is just topped by Cervera, who's just a bit outdone by Villén, who takes a small step behind whoever the little girl is who plays Cervera's sister. And the mom and dad are hilarious, too.

    Hitchcock fans might love this; there are multiple tributes to his films.

    If you are into dark comedy, don't miss this.

    I miss Gene Siskel. I have a hunch he might have loved this movie.

    To see a suave man, who seems to have what he wants in the palm of his hand, just completely lose his mind can be hysterically funny. It's played to perfection by Guillermo Toledo. The film is crisp in its execution. Rapheal is a ladies department salesman, a legend among his salemen peers and craved after by the women. When a competing salesperson ends up dead, Raphael is stuck in a tight spot.
