      Álex Ulloa: Who's that?

      Mayka Villaverde: Nobody.

      Álex Ulloa: Were you talking about me?

      Mayka Villaverde: You won't like it. He's my new lawyer.

      Álex Ulloa: What's wrong with Gloria?

      Mayka Villaverde: As well as being my sister, she's also your lawyer, and I want to revise our marriage contract. The property division.

      Álex Ulloa: You can't be serious.

      Mayka Villaverde: I'm always serious with you. Even if I laugh at you constantly.

      Álex Ulloa: You want everyone at your feet, don't you?

      Mayka Villaverde: Not everyone. You, yes... Got you! You handed that to me on a platter!

      Álex Ulloa: It's not funny. If he's not your lawyer, who is he?

      Mayka Villaverde: My psychoanalyst.

      Álex Ulloa: I didn't know you saw a psychoanalyst.

      Mayka Villaverde: There are lots of things you don't know about me...

    Pretty entertaining thriller
    The Body executes its ideas very well and has some solid acting. I like these kind of movies, because you feel like you are trying to be a detective as well and trying to figure out what the hell is going on. This is the case with The Body, a movie that will have you gripping your seat trying to find the answers for the entire duration of the movie. And you probably won't, until it is revealed. And when it is, well I won't lie it really has that been there, done that feeling. No spoilers but it seems it borrowed a lot from Usual Suspects, but the things that actually unfold seem a bit unrealistic. I didn't buy the ending, which is the weaker part of the movie you could say. But still, solid entertainment coming from a Spanish production.
