It seems that the genre of thrillers is performing well for the Netflix platform. After scoring a resounding success with La Jefa, the Spanish film directed by Fran Torres, it is now a British film that has positioned itself among the most viewed on the platform around the world.
We refer to I was here (I Came By), a film directed by Babak Anvari and starring George MacKay, Percelle Ascott, Kelly MacDonald, and Hugh Bonneville. It is about a young graffiti artist who enjoys leaving his mark on different emblematic places in his city, especially the big elite houses. However, one day he discovers a secret basement in one of them, which will endanger him and all his loved ones.
It happens that this young man, upon discovering this mysterious place in the house of a judge, who is recognized for his help to refugees, has no intention of stopping until he discovers the whole truth, no matter how complex it may seem. Almost all of his short life has been spent “fighting the system” so he sees in this possibility a way to finally achieve something.
Critics have been divided between those who consider I was here as an interesting and tense film, highlighting the handling of the elements to emphasize the tone of the story, and among those who consider the script somewhat flat and naive. It is true that the character’s motivation seems insufficient to face a danger like the one he finds himself in, although in the end the story gets out of that mess and works very well.
In the last week, according to the site Flix Patrolthis British thriller was placed as the sixth most viewed film on the platform, confirming that this genre is one of the favorites of subscribers.
I was here is available in Netflix and it deserves to be seen, be led down its dark path, and enjoy a confusing story, a top-notch cast, and an unexpected ending.
