Rest in Peace provides plenty of suspense but leads to a predictable and slightly boring ending...The plot begins well giving us a perfect arthouse flick that has all ingredients to what we call as a world cinema...
As Sergio navigates a world of deceit and danger, the fine line between right and wrong becomes blurred, forcing viewers to question his actions and motives. He takes advantage of an awful bombing; he can disappear and is presumed dead, leaving his family to collect his life insurance...
There's no clear conflict or resolution, and the ending is rushed compared to the rest of the film. We watch and learn about his debts, his family, and his time in Uruguay, for him to then quickly be killed at the end. It's sloppy and unfulfilling...As he couldn't bear that his family is married to the man who he owed to pay the money... From this debt collecting comes the film's most compelling part: the threat of the Brenner. Brenner's character is strong, dominating and not to be trusted. So when his friendship with Sergio's wife grows, audiences have every right to be suspicious.
When Sergio is killed at the end, it's no surprise it's by Brenner... Overall the flick loses its momentum that was meant to hit the bang with plenty of awards at film festivals but the unnecessary twists spoils the mood of the film ...
