Thought-provoking and stylish, if also somewhat hermetic.

It's to be hoped that Fresnadillo, having gotten his boyhood experience out of his system, will marshal his impressive gifts to create stories of considerably less preposterous and insular appeal.

Richard Harrington Washington Post (Top Critic)

Mesmerizing art-noirish thriller.

It has Mamet's cool, philosopher's finesse, but none of Borges's fun.

Michael Atkinson Village Voice (Top Critic)

Intacto's focus on arcane bylaws allows for little emotional or moral impact.

Although Sam's concentration camp backstory flirts with tastelessness, Mr. Fresnadillo charges Intacto with enough well-visualized oddity and surrealism to keep it interesting.

I admired Intacto more than I liked it, for its ingenious construction and the way it keeps a certain chilly distance between its story and the dangers of popular entertainment.

Loren King Chicago Tribune (Top Critic)

63

A clever, original thriller that bows to no genre.

Ted Shen Chicago Reader (Top Critic)

Far-fetched premise, convoluted plot, and thematic mumbo jumbo about destiny and redemptive love.

Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer (Top Critic)

75

Its use of the thriller form to examine the labyrinthine ways in which people's lives cross and change, buffeted by events seemingly out of their control, is intriguing, provocative stuff.

It is von Sydow who gives Intacto its gravity, resonance, soul.

Viewers will need all the luck they can muster just figuring out who's who in this pretentious mess.

It's a nicely detailed world of pawns, bishops and kings, of wagers in dingy backrooms or pristine forests.

The casting of von Sydow ... is itself Intacto's luckiest stroke.

Liam Lacey Globe and Mail (Top Critic)

Nothing if not hip, but its questions are more coffee-shop hypothetical than genuinely profound.

Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times (Top Critic)

80

A sharp brainteaser of a film, a compelling mind game you compulsively play along with.

While it runs a bit slow, Intacto doesn't bore, and the ending is interesting to see played out, if not a bit predictable.
