Highlights:
- The theme of the film is unheard of and claps to Alejandro Amenábar's writing & direction which have helped him present the unusual subject in an interesting fashion.
- The man who plays the protagonist is suave as the handsome dude and is expressive & emotional as the desperate loser.
- Penelope Cruz's beauty is irresistible and she has an amazing screen presence.
- The unusual and sci-fi like climax is convincing which is a relief.
