'The Hidden Face' (La cara oculta) is another great Spanish-language thriller with an intriguing plot and some really good, unpredictable twists. It is well-constructed, suspenseful and keeps you guessing throughout.
I always find it is best to watch mystery/thrillers with as little knowledge about the plot as possible, and I think going into this film with no idea about what was going to unfold made it a much more enjoyable experience. Trailers often give too much away and judging by some of the other reviews, it seems that's the case with 'The Hidden Face' as well.
I wouldn't put this film on the same level as the best Spanish-language thrillers I've seen, but the original plot and unpredictable twists still make it worth watching.
