Plot: I saw "El verso" in a cinema and I regret it up to this day. I saw the trailer, and I thought, what a funny movie?. But it wasn´t; the three or four jokes in the film appeared in the trailer so I didn´t laugh during it. Then I realized that it was a kind of drama."El verso" isn´t a great super-production. The scenery used in this title is very decadent. The story is very simple and unoriginal. Abel Ferrara´s "Blackout" and this, were the two worst films I´ve ever seen in the cinema. I don´t know how I didn´t fall asleep in it. The only thing that can rescue this movie are the magnificent actors that participate in it. I give this title a 3.5 out of 10.
