The Woman in Cabin 10. We're back with a film that has recently been released and, in my opinion, has been completely crazy with tension. Directed by Simon Stone and starring Keira Knightley, The Woman in Cabin 10 is based on the novel of the same name by Ruth Ware. Here we can enjoy genres that I love, such as suspense, mystery, and thriller, and above all, I enjoy the constant psychological tension that is present in every moment of the plot.
In that sense, I confess that when I started watching it, it began a little slowly, but I never thought that the development of the plot would leave me absolutely glued to the screen and with my head spinning, not knowing what might happen. We see a protagonist dealing with trauma, depression, and deep anxiety; she doesn't want to take a vacation, but the opportunity arises to cover a high-profile event on a luxurious cruise ship full of wealthy people; her mission is to cover an event on that cruise ship, and she was invited by the Bullmers; we immediately learn that Anne has an incurable disease and doesn't have much time left to live. Enjoy this review and you'll want to see the movie.

There are certainly several characters, because the cruise ship will be full of people and, logically, many suspects. However, we are going to focus on the plot and what the protagonist experiences within it; I will leave the rest to you to draw your own conclusions. Well, as mentioned at the beginning, we have the protagonist, journalist Laura Blacklock. She is accustomed to traveling, but she recently suffered a delicate situation and is traumatized. This trauma is presented very well so that she is not taken seriously on some occasions. The intention is for her to be on the first trip of the Aurora Borealis cruise ship. This would be a kind of escape and the right moment to release her stress and anxiety.
Everything was going very well; after being introduced, everyone went to their cabins to rest and get comfortable. However, Laura's peace was interrupted when she heard arguments and banging in the cabin next door; it sounded like total violence, and sure enough, it was all happening in cabin 10. It was in this cabin that Laura supposedly saw a woman being thrown into the sea. This is where the questions about Laura begin, and we ourselves will be watching closely to determine whether she is within the bounds of reality or simply suffering from pure paranoia, especially when the owners of the Aurora claim that this cabin was never occupied by any guest.
What is certain is that from that moment on, the tension deepens and even we ourselves begin to doubt everything Laura says. No one believes her, but she is sure that she saw a woman fall overboard. What is certain is that there may be a woman missing from the cruise ship, that she has been replaced by another, or that Laura is truly suffering from anxiety, although on some occasions they have tried to kill her. Here I return to the same question: did they try to kill her, or does she only see what interests her? Could there really be a murderer, or is there a conspiracy? All of that must be discovered.
What is certain is that the protagonist's mental state is not something she is suffering just for the sake of suffering; rather, this theme is used masterfully to constantly cultivate in the other actors and in ourselves doubt about everything that is happening or could happen. Because all the mystery and suspense is like a mixture of two unique and unparalleled styles; we are talking about the masters Hitchcock and Agatha Christie; harassment, mystery, suspense, confinement, lots of suspects, everything really fits together perfectly to give us a quality film. If we talk about the protagonists, and without underestimating the others, because without them nothing would be possible, Keira Knightley's performance, from my point of view, is masterful. She is totally believable and conveys the tension and emotion we deserve. In short, she makes us part of the story. She must seek allies who believe her.
What I will say is that every second of the plot is filled with unsettling moments; however, the protagonist's discovery causes a fabulous twist in the story. Is there really a conspiracy? Did someone really die? We don't know, but the ending will leave you frozen and wishing the story wasn't over; your mind will be spinning. Certainly, the theme is nothing new, but they knew how to turn it around and make it an extremely entertaining and intriguing work. It also invites us to reflect on how reliable or treacherous our minds can be when we are presented with certain situations. Definitely, it's a movie you should see, and there you can draw your own conclusions. Greetings, and see you soon.

La Mujer del Camarote 10. Estamos de vuelta con una película que recientemente ha salido a la luz y que desde mi punto de vista, ha sido una total locura de tensión. Un filme dirigido por Simon Stone y protagonizado por Keira Knightley; hablamos de La Mujer del Camarote 10, la cual está basada en la novela de Ruth Ware; lógicamente lleva el mismo nombre. Aquí podremos disfrutar de los géneros que me encantan como lo es el suspenso, el misterioso, el thriller y sobre todo, disfruto de la constante tensión psicológica que se vive en cada instante de la trama.
En tal sentido; confieso que cuando empecé a verla, si comenzó un poco floja; pero jamás pensé, que el desarrollo de la trama me dejaría absolutamente pegado a la pantalla y con la cabeza dándome vueltas, por no saber lo que podría pasar. Vemos a una protagonista lidiando con traumas, depresión y ansiedad profunda; no desea tomar vacaciones, pero se presenta la oportunidad de cubrir un evento de alta envergadura en un lujoso crucero lleno de mucha gente adinerada; su misión, es la cubrir un evento en ese crucero y fue invitada por el matrimonio Bullmer; de inmediato sabemos que Anne tiene una enfermedad incurable y no le queda mucho tiempo de vida. Disfruta de esta reseña y verás que te darán ganas de ver la película.

Ciertamente existen varios personajes, porque el crucero estará lleno de mucha gente y lógicamente, muchos sospechosos. Sin embargo; vamos a centrarnos en la trama y lo que vive la protagonista dentro de ella; lo demás se los dejo a ustedes para que saquen sus propias conclusiones. Bueno; como se dijo al inicio; tenemos a la protagonista, la periodista Laura Blacklock; ella está acostumbrada a los viajes, pero hace poco sufrió una situación delicada y está traumada; este trauma se presenta muy bien para que no sea tomada en serio en algunas ocasiones. La intención es que esté en el primer viaje del crucero Aurora Borealis; esta sería como una especie de escape y momento justo para liberar su estrés y ansiedad.
Todo iba muy bien; cada persona después de ser presentada, se dirigía a sus camarotes para descansar y ponerse cómodos. Sin embargo; esa paz que sentía Laura se ve interumpida, cuando escucha discusiones y golpes en el camarote de al lado; todo parecía violencia total y justamente, todo ocurría en el camarote 10. Camarote donde Laura supuestamente ve a una mujer que es lanzada al mar; aquí es donde se inician los cuestionamientos hacia Laura y nosotros mismos estaremos atentos para determinar, si ella está dentro de los límites de la realidad o simplemente es pura paranoia; más aún, cuando los dueños del Aurora afirman que ese camarote jamás estuvo ocupado por ningún invitado.
Lo que si es cierto; es que desde ese instante se ahonda la tensión y hasta nosotros mismos, pondremos en duda todo lo que dice Laura; nadie le cree, pero ella está segura que vió caer a una mujer por la borda y lo que si es cierto; es que puede faltar una mujer en el crucero, ha sido reemplazada por otra, o verdaderamente Laura está bajo los efectos de la ansiedad, aunque en algunas ocasiones la han intentado asesinar; aquí vuelvo a lo mismo, ¿La intentaron asesinar o ella solo ve lo que le interesa?; ¿Será que realmente hay un asesino o hay una conspiración; todo eso deben descubrirlo.
Lo que si es cierto; es que el estado mental de la protagonista no es algo que está sufriendo solo por sufrirlo; sino, que ese tema es usado de forma magistral, para tratar en todo momento de cultivar en los demás actores y en nosotros mismos, la duda de todo lo que pasa o lo que podría pasar. Porque todo el misterio y suspenso; es como una mezcla de dos estilos únicos e inugualables; hablamos de los maestros Hitchcock y Agatha Christies; acoso, misterio, suspenso, encierro, sospechosos a montón, de verdad que todo encaja perfectamente para brindarnos un filme de calidad. Si hablamos de los protagonistas y sin menospreciar a los demás, porque sin ellos nada sería posible; la actuación de Keira Knightley, desde mi punto de vista es magistral, es totalmente creíble y nos transmite esa tensión y emoción que merecemos; en pocas palabras nos hace ser parte de la historia, ella debe buscar aliados que le crean.
Lo que si les digo; es que cada segundo que pasa de la trama, disfrutamos de momentos inquietantes; sin embargo, el descubrimiento de la protagonista provoca un giro fabuloso en la historia. ¿Realmente habrá un complot, realmente alguien murió?; no lo sabemos, pero el final te dejará helado y con ganas de desear que la historia no haya terminado; tu mente quedará dando vueltas y vueltas. Ciertamente el tema no es nada nuevo, pero le supieron dar la vuelta y lo convierieron en una obra sumamente entretenida e intrigante; además, nos invita a reflexionar sobre lo confiable o traidora que puede ser nuestra mente cuando se nos presentan ciertas situaciones. Definitivamente; es una película que debes ver y allí podrás sacar tus propias conclusiones; saludos y nos vemos pronto.

Task Episode 7 drop like two weekends ago but for me this was such a good series that I didnt want to pass on and the ending did cut a few corners but over all felt very good. The action was there, Grasso got his redemption shot with Jason, Maeve finally gets to leave with the kids and THE MONEY, Tom forgives Ethan but something about it all felt a bit off. Like the show started so damn strong with all these threads connecting between the characters and by the end it felt like we were watching two diferent shows that never realy came together the way they should have. The first half of this episode was packed with enough chaos, watching Perry try to work up the nerve to kill Jason with that fish gutting knife but couldnt do it because he loves him like a son, even tho Jason is the reason they are in this mess to begin with. Vince telling Perry to take care of Jason or else, Mike and Vince planning to frame Grasso as some unstable cop who lost his mind, Arin's body floating up with Perry's wallet chain still in her hand which was so stupid on his part like come on man you been doing this long enough to know better. The whole thing with Grasso visiting his sister and finding out he went dirty just to pay for their moms care and get his sister a safe house away from her ex, that gives you a different perspective of him because you realize this guy wasnt some evil bastard from the start, he was trying to take care of family and got in too deep, couldn't sleep, couldn't eat and all that shit eating him alive from the inside.

The Tom family stuff with Ethan and Emily also felt like it took over too much space in these last episode when honestly the most interesting parts of this show were always about Robbie, Perry, Jason and Maeve, this is the part that felt like to two different shows but I get they were trying to keep some mistery and surprise about Tom life choices like getting hammered almost every night. That was the heart of everything and we got pulled away from it to focus on Tom forgiving his son which yeah it was emotional and Mark Ruffalo absolutely killed it with that courtroom speech, talking about how Ethan was a sick child with voices in his head telling him to do things, how the medication helped for a while until the pandemic caused shortages and the voices came back angrier, how Ethan killed Toms wife Susan but there was also so much joy during the good times. Ruffalo delivered that monolog like it was actually happening, telling Ethan he forgives him, he loves him, when the day comes for him to be released Tom will be waiting to welcome him home, that such a great performance but still felt totally disconnected from the main action, but again I get it they wanted something emotional on the show and make Tom look like the hero he was for everyone.

The way they wrapped up the dark hearts stuff also felt kinda rushed and convenient with Vince shooting Mike in the head instead of shooting Grasso first even tho Grasso had a gun in his hand and Mike didnt, like what kind of tactical decision is that when you are there to kill both of them anyway, it just seemed backwards to me and only happened because the plot needed Vince to die so Grasso could have his redemption. Jason stabbing Perry after finding out what he did to Arin, that whole scene by the river with Perry naked trying to wash himself and then getting gutted by the person he was trying to protect, it was tragic and well acted but we never got to hear Perry actually explain himself to Jason, we never got that conversation about why he did what he did or how he was protecting Jason from Vince this whole time, so it felt incomplete like we were missing a piece of the puzzle that would have made Perrys death more satisfying or at least more understandable from a character standpoint. Then Tom letting Maeve keep the money by zipping up that bag and walking away, telling Kath later that wisdom is knowing what to overlook, that was perfect because Maeve and those kids deserved a shot at a new life after everything they went thru, Robbie died trying to get them that money and Tom knew it would be wrong to take that away from them just to close a case that was already a mess. Seeing Maeve pack up the car with Harper and Wyatt, taking a picture of the house as a reminder of her dad and uncle before driving six hours away to start over somewhere new with a million dollars hidden in the trunk, that felt earned and hopeful in a show that spent most of its time being bleak and heavy.
Still a very very solid show overall, popularity over RTT jump drastically in the last episodes although those are just numbers, I just wish it kept that same energy from the beginning all the way through instead of getting a little draggy for a few episodes. The performances were incredible across the board, Mark Ruffalo and Tom Pelfrey and Fabian Frankel as Grasso all brought some of the most solid performance single episode, the script was sharp and grounded in reality most of the time, the way it handled themes like guilt, forgiveness, family, the traps people get stuck in when they live in places with no opportunities, all of that landed really well and made you think about these characters as real people dealing with impossible choices. I would give it somewhere around an 8 out of 10 because when it was good it was really damn good, those first four episodes with Robbie and the task force investigating Billy's murder and the shootout in the woods, that was some good tv series I watched this year. If they do a season two with Tom and a new task force like they been talking about, I would definitely watch it because this show proved it knows how to build tension and create characters you actually care about, it just needs to stick the landing better next time and not lose sight of what made it special in the first place.
