Documental entretenido, manipulador como su protagonista y personalmente nada aterrador, ni impactante ya que el director sesga la información y nos lleva por donde quiere llevarnos, no mojándose para nada con el personaje principal (nos cuenta una breve, brevisima historieta de su infancia para justificar su comportamiento) y se centra mas en que su protagonista, como un azar bien calculado, pudiera haber descubierto una trama criminal.

Eché de menos no solo el pasado de Bourdin, absolutamente necesario para darle perspectiva a la historia, si no que creo que le falta al menos 15/20 minutos de metraje para al menos contar algo de lo que yo voy a contar en el spoiler.

Continuo abajo.
