" Sophisticated psychological thriller that hits sent narrative hook and shear hitchcock style unfolds a stress scenario in which protagonists and spectators at the confidence is shaken to other figures as well as the soundness of one's own perception. The film combines harmoniously crime elements, melancholy love story and mystery Ankläge and convinces by the outstanding lead actress. "
" Directed by debutant Giuseppe Capotondi went with this work on the trail of suspense movies of Alfred Hitchcock. With surprising twists and turns, he tells the story of an infamous intrigue. Capotondi not reached the class of a Hitchcock, confident but with thrilling moments of tension and good performers. "
" La doppia ora mixes the genre of mystery thriller along the lines of M. Night Shyamalan with the genre of Liebesmelodrams. As for the mystery aspect, should not be to reveal too much at this point, since this film genre naturally lives of surprising twists. Only so much: too surprisingly these turns are not here too much like has been seen before in similar films in recent years. But after all, the tension is built up solid and then flattens not from when beginning to emerge in which direction the story develops. "
