"The Body" is a mystery thriller movie in which we watch a detective searching for a body of a very beautiful well-off and important businesswoman with a lot of friends but also some enemies which disappeared. After her death that under some very strange circumstances is believed that it was a result from a heart attack, the body of this woman was disappeared from the morgue. Now a detective who is trying to fight his own demons has to find her body and solve this very mysterious case.I liked this movie because it has to do with a dark, mysterious story that clears up in the end. The direction which was made by Oriol Paulo was simply amazing, with many good scenes and of course many surprises. The plot of this movie didn't let me down not even one moment since it had many twists that I couldn't even imagine. Another important reason why this movie is so good, is the interpretations of the cast. Especially the interpretations of José Coronado who played as Jaime Peña and he was simply amazing at his role, Belén Rueda who played as Mayka Villaverde and Aura Garrido who played as Carla Miller. Finally, I believe that "The Body" is a very good movie and I strongly recommend for everyone to see it because I am sure that you are going to have a very good time since it's a very mysterious movie, with many twists and surprises that I believe they will keep you intense. I also believe that because of the plot of it and of course the interpretations of the cast you won't be disappointed by it.

Despite being cinematically beautiful,albeit quite dark, this movie is an utterly boring melodrama full of stereotypes and unlikable characters. The dialogue is so fast and mumbly that if you don't have Spanish as a first language you will be grateful for the subtitles. I was very disappointed as the other reviews were great but it failed to impress.

"The Body" is a mystery thriller, evolving around a corpse that goes missing. When a man murders his rich wife to live with his lover, he feels on the safe side until her body disappears and a set of strange events and messages starts to come in, leaving him wonder how dead she really is.The film manages to create a very decent and suitable atmosphere. It leaves room for a lot of speculation and even though it might seem predictable in the beginning, it really is quite the contrary. There is more than one stunning twist woven into the story and you will probably stay excited to learn what's going on until the very end. Unfortunately, this excellent plot is partly weakened by some obvious logical problems. There are accused alone in a room full of glass windows, the man behaves in the dumbest way I can imagine for someone trying to keep a secret, to name two. Some of the characters are additionally quite cliché, like the old, empty inspector.All in all, this doesn't keep this film to be one of the better thrillers I've seen in the last years. But unfortunately it keeps it from being even more, and there's quite some potential in this movie to achieve greatness. Nevertheless if you like thrillers you shouldn't miss this one.
