MIAMI FUTURE CINEMA CRITICS AWARD WINNER AT MIAMIFF31... TO KILL A MAN (Matar a un hombre) a film by Alejandro Fernández Almendras Chile | 82 min. | drama | trailer Spanish with English subtitles When gentle middle-aged Jorge (Daniel Candia) chooses to defend his family’s honor by following feeling rather than the law, he lands in a place of ethical ambiguity. After years of tolerating evil “pranks” played on himself and his family and receiving vague assistance from the police, he quietly snaps. ...VENGEANCE GOES TO SINISTER NEW HEIGHTS Variety.com’s Guy Lodge describes To Kill a Man as “A grim, fat-free revenge thriller that extracts an impressive degree of moral equivocation from its exceedingly simple premise.” It is essentially a psychological study on what it means to kill a man—not only delving into what drives a “good” man to kill, but also examining what happens after he does.  more...
