Sleep Tight (2011)
3/10
Only the acting delivers, the rest fails

Warning: Spoilers
I rarely write reviews but I think Sleep Tight deserves one.

I watched this movie because the plot sounded interesting and the average rating was cool. The plot is really interesting but the execution fails I must say. Plus, maybe except one scene there was absolutely nothing to be thrilled or feel suspense so if you're planning to watch for that purpose - like me - get ready to be heart broken.

I gave 3 starts because although the story lacks a lot, the acting of Cesar and Clara were top-of-the-notch.

From this point on there will be spoilers.

We are faced with a super-concierge who gets away with everything he does thanks to the ultra-stupidity of his neighbors and the police.

It is stated several times throughout the movie that he can not be happy. Fine, we understand that but the reason? I was expecting to discover that as the movie evolved but in the end we fail to get even a clue.

He has access to keys for all apartments but somehow he gets away from all situations with excuses that you'd believe only if you have a two digit IQ.

Clara's boyfriend faces the concierge instead of calling the police when he finds out his tools hidden in the bed. Really??

And when he gets caught in their apartment. He is inside but the door is locked and Calara & BF buy his bullshit??? He tries to go out without the bag taking only the keys???

Anyway..there are many points that could be written down which make the credibility of "his success" close to zero and that's my biggest problem with this movie.
