#martyisdead

No me sorprende que Marty haya tenido éxito en el extranjero, porque esta serie checa es moderna, impactante, muestra parámetros europeos y un esfuerzo directo y persistente para lograr su objetivo. Todo esto se hizo con actores en su mayoría desconocidos, algunos de los cuales luego pasaron con gracia a Sex O'Clock. Aplaudo y me alegro por esta producción checa. (10.08.2023)

Finally, I caught up with this acclaimed thriller from one of the best Czech directors, Pavel Soukup, whose recent film #annaismissing left me craving for more, and this is indeed a similar masterpiece. The film starts off shockingly, with a truck driver hitting a 15-year-old boy named Marty, who dies on the spot. The parents' depression and despair are present from the very beginning, and the atmosphere is definitely unpleasant and unenviable. However, things start to get interesting when the father opens his son's computer, gradually uncovering more and more terrifying secrets that he was hiding. He was forced to carry out chilling tasks, often crossing the line of the law. Pavel Soukup certainly knows how to hold the audience's attention and presents them with the current topic of social media and the dangers that can lurk there. The series is not far from its American counterparts, Searching and Missing, and those who enjoy such films will not be disappointed here either. #annaismissing was a more thought-out thriller, where the audience could guess the killer, but here I had no idea, as there are no clues, and the revelation is definitely unexpected and great. It is well-shot, well-acted with a fantastic atmosphere and a powerful message. If you haven't seen it yet, catch up immediately! 8/10. (12.12.2023)
