When I saw the comercial talking about Lisboa I thought that the it was going to be very bad ,plus I don't like usually Spanish movies because they are a little bit crazy and massy in my opinion. I gave a chance to the story and SURPRISE!!It was good.There are a lot of confused situations and excellent performances of the two characters. Shows how the latin culture has develope doing kinds of comedy with a strange sense of humor that is funny. If you haven't seen it yeat go and watch.But don't expect much of the ending is too disapointement.7 out of 10

Atmospheric character study
d-i-rob4 April 2006
I saw "Lisboa" on daytime television and initially had low expectations. However, I was pleasantly surprised, and the film's understated yet powerful ending is still very memorable to me 3 years after seeing the film.
"Lisboa" is billed as a thriller. However, it's not pacey but suspenseful. Along the way it's a character study, as we find out about a sinister marriage. The characters, in common with the general feel of the film, are minimal. One man, one woman.
As I said, I think the ending is superb and memorable, and something a bit different from the usual Hollywood fare.

A GREAT SPANISH ROAD MOVIE THRILLER...
The_Adjuster21 March 2001
This film surprised me because its filming like a independent road movie, without too much money but with great actors like Federico Lupi and Sergi Sanchez.The story is pure thriller with one man trapped in a history that he don´t understand, he is a normal person in a strange situation.The music in incredible, remember me the compositions of Michael Nyman and Win Mertens. The final is a great surprise for the spectator...
