Watch Invader For Free

Highly Overrated But Still Good

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

In 2004, Spanish military doctors Pablo (Alberto Ammann) and Diego (Antonio de la Torre) are in humanitarian mission in Iraq. After a terrorist attack on the road, Pablo and Diego seek refugee in a house in a small village. Pablo is forced to kill a teenager and his father in self-defense and he faints seriously wounded. He awakes in a hospital in Spain and soon he goes home with amnesia to be with his wife Ángela (Inma Cuesta) and daughter Pilar. A man called Baza (Karra Elejalde) seeks Pablo out and gives a contract of confidentiality for him to sign; in return, his family and he would be financially supported by the Spanish army. However Pablo blames himself for the death of the Iraqi teenager and his father and he wants to recollect what happens. He meets Diego and finds the truth about the incident. What will be his attitude?"Invasor" is a thriller with great beginning and development, but also with awful simplistic conclusion. Daniel Calparsoro lost the chance to make a good movie, but decided to include car chase and an incoherent conclusion that spoil the movie. Pablo releases the video to the press and then he is hunted down through the streets with car crashes; his friend dies; he knows the names of the conspirators; but the fake footage prevails and he goes to prison in a democratic country in a ridiculous and pointless ending that does not work. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Invasor" ("Invader")

I was a little scared of wasting my time, before the viewing of this film. The usual tale of the good guy who wants to bring justice against all the no less evil villains. OK, this remains this in resume, but the development is not very like the US productions. And from Spain, I found it interesting, but certainly not in the American way. I know UK gives us good stuff in this kind of topics, and most of them not released in France, except straight to DVD, but not on the big screen.So, back to this one, we may find some clichés, but not all long the movie. We can compare it from time to time to JASON BOURNE series, in the action sequences for instance. But actually in ONE sequence, just one. And speaking of this scene, I think it was useless. THis sequence did not make it besides the rest of the movie. This is not made for being an action film. It could have been as efficient without this sequence, the famous car chase, in the end. This sequence is very well made, although. But keep in mind that the lead is just an ex soldier and not a NANY SEAL, as Jason Bourne!!! But this doesn't lessen the quality of the feature.A good try from Spain.

War is not something that is easily told or what happens there. And this happens to depict a very strong case of what can happen in war time. It's one man trying to do the right thing after the fact. It's touching a few subjects and quite a few are difficult to answer (as in what would the viewer have done).The war scenes are really well shot and the action too. Of course once you see the wife (wonderfully played), you do wonder why someone would leave her to go fight anywhere. Doesn't make sense unless he had to go (drafted). She also raises a few points. One of the bad guys is a very well known Spanish actor some might have seen in other movies too. Overall a very well made political drama with good action scenes.

I have to say, I don't like war movies, simply because they are predictable and they all look alike, but this is way way different than I would have anticipated.For once, a true hero as portrayed as he should be, a man with prejudices and a sense of the moral. This guy goes through hell and back and admits to his mistake, even when he is place in the position of a man with temporary amnesia. To make the right thing in a situation like his, that in my opinion means to be a real hero.And of course we have the American factor, that is shown in it's true nature, the violent and suppressing power that it is. The true crime belong to the invaders not to the invaded. So the message is loud and clear and should spark some of the brighter people out there what reality is all about (a deformed truth).I give it a 10/10 just because it's original and the plot is so well written that it rely makes you think, it can't get more real than this.
