Sinopsis(1)
Dos investigadores de fraudes paranormales, la veterana doctora Margaret Matheson (Sigourney Weaver) y su joven ayudante Tom Buckley (Cillian Murphy), estudian los más diversos fenómenos metapsíquicos con la intención de demostrar su origen fraudulento. Simon Silver (Robert De Niro), legendario psíquico, tal vez el dotado más célebre de todos los tiempos, reaparece después de treinta años de enigmática ausencia para convertirse en el mayor desafío mundial para la Ciencia ortodoxa y los escépticos profesionales. Tom comienza a desarrollar una densa obsesión por Silver, cuyo magnetismo se refuerza de forma peligrosa con cada nueva manifestación de oscuros fenómenos inexplicables. (Warner Bros. España)

Quite a nice film to watch. Plus, finally a proper role for Robert De Niro again, yay! Rather than The Sixth Sense, to which the domestic distributor (stupidly) compares the film, Red Lights reminded me of Nolan's The Prestige with its strange atmosphere. Plus, it's been a long time since I've been so sure after finishing a movie that I want to see it again as soon as possible. Red Lights is perfectly cast and, of course, acted, and the script doesn't build on any shocking points, but it's damn (un)pleasantly magical and suspenseful. The direction is fine and so is its cooperation with the music, the only thing I could criticize is perhaps the overly literal ending... But that's just a small issue that I can easily set aside.__P.S. It was only thanks to the interesting facts here that I learned that the shots of "young De Niro" were not special effects shots at all, as I had thought, but a much simpler "trick". Wow!

It does have its issues, but I’m more satisfied with it than with Cortés’s previous film, Buried. That one may have been more cohesive and polished, but I liked more the theme and the atmosphere of this one. For three quarters, it’s a gripping mysterious thriller with an almost horror feeling. And if it didn’t fall apart in the end with that unexpected twist delivered in such weird way, it could be a modern classic among mystery films. My feeling: as if after a two hour ride in a luxury sports car you bumped it against a rail while parking and scratched the paint.

How would you like to see a picture about a blind man as your last movie before going blind?... Just an thought. A great atmosphere, excellent theme, the ending is a bit creaky,but otherwise a decent genre piece. Cortés is definitely a talented director and the main acting trio performs superbly. Blind De Niro is nice and demonic and a shame that the story doesn’t develop more on that. What can you really know? What can you really believe?
