A Science Fiction film that isn't a political allegory,nor does it have big metal spaceships nor butt ugly aliens that destroy the planet before our very eyes. 'Los Cronocrimenes' (or 'Time Crimes' as it's being distributed here in the continental United States) is a smartly written/directed (and acted)corker of a Sci-Fi film that concerns time travel that was filmed on a modest budget & has a bare minimum of special effects (mostly in the way of make up effects). The plot concerns your average everyday Joe (Jose?)Sixpack,his drop dead beautiful wife & the house that is being remodeled. When he is witness to a (potential)murder in his own backyard,he checks it out further, only to become involved in time travel (via a time machine at a science centre not far from his home). What follows will surely boggle the mind. The cast is mostly unknowns (at least on this side of the Atlantic). Do yourself a big favour & seek out this fine Spanish film before Hollywood unleashes it's own bastardized remake (due sometime in 2009). Rated 'R' by the MPAA, this film contains nudity,profanity & some violence (some of which looks truly painful,as well as bloody).
