Vengeance is mine?
Roberto is a well known, well respected surgeon with a haunted past. His life has taken tragic turns so he throws himself into his cutting edge work. Vera, one of Roberto's patients, is held captive by him in his home. Told in a dual timeline form, this narrative weaves from present to past and back to the present as we learn how Vera and Roberto ended with their lives thus entwined. This is my first time seeing Banderas in a Spanish language film and his performance makes me like and respect him much more than before. Very well told and extremely intriguing, this film is worth a watch.
