Con la muerte en los talones Ratings & Reviews
- mickerdoo7 de noviembre de 2025A thriller that keeps you guessing. Grant and Saint are great together. The styling stood the test of time. A must see. Bravo Hitchcock.
- BufferOverflowNT9 de abril de 2026Timeless classic
- EnochLight31 de julio de 2025Beautifully shot in Vista-Vision, this 1959 classic "spy thriller" is a comedic romp across the country. Largely considered a masterpiece for its themes of deception, mistaken identity, and moral relativism in the Cold War era, Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, and James Mason are simply magnificent in their respective roles (speaking of James Mason, I'd wager that Mike Meyers' accent was inspired by him when he portrayed British General Ed Fenech in Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds"). The new 4K HDR transfer is excellent, and a must-watch for true fans of cinema. Do it!
- joeowens5167 de abril de 2026Revisiting North by Northwest for the first time since childhood was a great reminder of why it’s considered a classic. Watching it now on 4K, the film feels newly alive—the colors, the sharpness, and the sweeping set pieces really shine in a way I don’t remember from my childhood. The story feels like a more mature precursor to a James Bond film—full of espionage, mistaken identity, and stylish suspense—but with a tighter, more grounded edge. It’s easy to see how influential it’s been on the spy genre as a whole. Of course, this is also a showcase of Alfred Hitchcock at the height of his craft. His direction is precise and confident, building tension in ways that still feel effective today. That said, you can sometimes sense the limits imposed by the Hays Code—particularly in how certain themes are handled. It’s interesting to imagine what Hitchcock might have done without those constraints, as his storytelling already pushes right up against those boundaries.
- Elliot04721 de febrero de 2026This is more like a Spy-Romance than a Spy Thriller. I wasn't able to enjoy the film, as I initially guessed the ending 30 minutes before, and it turned out I was correct, so it became a disappointment to me. I like Hitchcock, but this seems like a miss.
- รҡ૨אρƭเ∂28 de febrero de 2025Another overrated classic. It's not like I'm some genZ kid who doesn't appreciate old films. I just didn't think it was great. But it was Ok. 5/10 *UPDATE* After some more consideration of film creation in a historical sense I think I decided to afford NxNW another star. 6/10
- Phillip Hampton7 de enero de 2026Incredible captivating cinema
- bstoned11 de febrero de 2025Classics don’t get much better than this
- jacxcx1 de noviembre de 2025Nice and funny movie.
- Kristian Odland30 de julio de 2025This is pretty spectacular for a movie from 1959! I can only imagine how many minds this blew back then. So much sexual tension between Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint! 🥵
- Cubane20 de agosto de 2025One of the most well-known Hitchcock flicks with many bingo boxes ticked. A little difficult to follow at some parts but overall worth a watch, especially for the campy elements and sometimes questionable choreography.
- Hitmann214 de mayo de 2025Such an entertaining classic film. Hitchcock has fun casting Cary Grant as an everyman being mistaken as a James Bond like agent only to become one in the end. A must-see for any aspiring cinephiles.
- Rowan Krzysiak12 de febrero de 2025It became impossible to take this seriously being dated beyond repair. The story doesn't piece together, the dialogue is hokey and Cary Grant can't act. The female representation is offensive. Really terrible. Saying that, the score is outstanding.
