Intacto

Pretty good, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I expected. The idea that certain people have a talent for controlling luck - for using it to their own advantage and taking it from others - is a neat one, and there are some really striking scenes and images (especially the sequence where a group of blindfolded people run through a forest, the winner being the one who makes it furthest without running full-tilt into a tree). It's an intriguing premise, and there's a good story in there somewhere, but the film as a whole was a bit dislocated and cold for my liking.
