Review
I am going to be honest. I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy this movie. I mean, the storyline sounds pretty cliché. Stepbrother and stepsister fall in love. It even sounds a bit cringe to be honest. But this movie suprised me. I actually enjoyed this movie a lot.
First of all, can I say that I hate it when Americans give a Spanish movie a different movie title. America uses ‘My fault’ as title for this movie instead of ‘Culpa Mia’. But I am going to stick to the original title obviously.
There are many things I liked about this movie. At first, I thought it was going to be romantic movie and yes, it was. But this movie is so much more. There are so many things what made this movie exciting. First of all, the romance. I am a big softie and I love love. Nick’s secret lifestyle is definitely not the lifestyle of the perfect son. He races against other groups/gangs, he fights, he drinks a lot and he makes out with every woman. You will see a lot of action as well. And there is another layer in this movie, which was interesting. Noah’s biological father was violent and he almost killer her and her mother.
So I can safely say that this movie has literally everything from action to romance. The acting was pretty good. I already know the actress who played Noah (Nicole Wallace) from Ni Una Más (available on Netflix). She was great in that one as well. And I love that it was in Spanish. I know this is completely personal taste, but I love certain languages a lot and Spanish is one of them. It sounds so beautiful. Which made the movie even better.
The sequel to this movie came out a few months ago and I wonder what that movie is about. I prefer not watching the trailer because most of the time it gives away too many spoilers. But it will probably be about the romance between Noah and Nick. But I also hope they are keeping the car races, that looked pretty cool in this movie.
Overall, I can highly recommend this movie. This might be one of those movies that you can watch as a couple, especially if one loves romance and the other one action. This movie is a mix of both. Normally I am not the biggest fan of action movies (it depends on my mood) but this movie was pretty awesome.
