Meanwhile fear and paranoia starts to dominate Nico, Jon notices about a previous shot happened in 1976, where the chauffeur of a general too was shot to dead in the same gas station. Deeping in the past of the place, Jon finds similar tragedies in 1955 and 1913 and he tries use his talent for the mathematics to find a pattern in the incidents, causing the rejection of Andrea, David's girlfriend and Jon's former girlfriend. According April 12 closes, Lucía struggles to erase the progressive fear of Nico to be killed, and Jon struggles against his each more unbalanced mind after to leave the treatment for the schizophrenia he suffers. Trying to confirm his discoveries to Andrea after to find the relation that connects all events, Jon starts a race against time thinking that it will repeats again in 2018, looking for a way to prevent it. But is it real, or only a trick of his fragile mind? Will can Jon break the circle before it be too late? —Chockys

    7/10
    Mind folks ! this is a Supernatural thriller
    To be honest, i decided to watch this movie because of the premise and it quite actually offers you what you need. The direction, story, acting, music was right on the point. Its kind of a slow burn but never gets you bored. The climax scenes really manages you to be on the edge of the seat. Although the climax scenes were perfectly shot, there seems to be a huge plot hole (there are many though) or a mistake made by the makers in marking the genre of the film. As the movie progresses towards the climactic point , we feel that the genre is shifting from thriller to a supernatural thriller, but in a good way. I really liked the climax of the movie, reminds us of the time paradox used in many time travel movies. Overall my rating is 7/10. A decent watch . Don't forget this : watch this as a Supernatural thriller
