Director: Carles Torras

Plot: Angel works in an ambulance service. After a tragic accident, his personal life begins to deteriorate as he becomes more and more suspicious of his partner Vane. After suffering a serious accident, Angel's life with Vane begins to unravel; obsessed with the idea that she is unfaithful to him, his life will turn into hell.


My Movie Review: The movie is a dark twisted plot thriller with unexpectedly intense start that withers in the second half where a man uses his medical skills for revenge as he felt jealous and depress with well-executed slow burn trap trick which can be hard to come by these days:) The Paramedic is one of my most anticipated movies coming this 2020 when I first saw Netflix is releasing this film I felt excited and knew it will be good but I never know until its going to be agonizing with Ángel such an unlikeable protagonist that some of the sequences involving his revenge plots and general existence' feel grueling and unpleasant to endure his so bad doings! Mario Casas is convincing as he fell deep to the character he completely lose himself there’s something to be said for his craftsmanship and the way it commits to acting his part so reeling!! Déborah François however though new to me boasts strong performance with the competent script make a lasting first impression she deserves more recognition with that persistence acts!

Critic Reviews: The Paramedic is about a lonely man with a deadly obsession that fails to go further than the limited potential of the plot. It's solid enough for a Friday night. And its main character serves a homage to how a villain must begin forming itself. There is some degree of suspense in terms of what Ángel will be able to get away with and how he will manage to inflict so much pain and misery, but too much of the film feels like fait accompli from the beginning. A perverse and narcissist thriller. The actor surpasses a major physical and acting challenge! Boasts strong performances, a competent script, and a well-executed slow burn which can be hard to come by these days. Horror movie about revenge has disturbing violence. A mixed-bag of a thriller...but one that builds up to a fine, furious finale that atones for some of its first and second-act sins. I found the plot interesting. Good camera work and particularly love how they used facial expressions and music to tell part of the story. As intensity you can't just make it up!
