Los Cronocrímenes (Timecrimes) - 9 stars out of 10
Wow, what a cleverly layered, mind-bending display of causality that somehow remains easy to follow! The entire thing is very straightforward. It does a great job of making you think that it will take place on two levels, only to expand to a third and fourth level. You'll think that you have the twist figured out (and you do), but then the twist entails much more than you could ever anticipate. Karra Elejalde's nearly one-man-performance creates a unique character transformation, as we get to see all four versions of his character at the same time. While "Primer" is a realistic time-travel film because the science adds up, "Timecrimes" focuses on realistic implications that could arise in a time-travelling scenario. The writers must have crafted this script from end-to-beginning but the final result is a seamless sequence of events that are as imaginative as they are realistic.
