THE WRATH OF GOD is a new Netflix movie from Argentina (org. title La Ira de Dios). We’re in the drama, mystery, and thriller genres. And yes, quite a few people will die before the end credits. However, in this movie, it’s more about who is left behind than who dies.

This movie has exactly the kind of dark and gritty style, that I enjoy in any psychological thriller. Also, the story begins in one place and then we go back twelve years. Those twelve years have taken quite a toll on the main characters. Something you can easily believe once we get into the events that began 12 years earlier.

There are essentially three main core characters in The Wrath of God. Luciana is a young woman who seems to be losing her entire family in very strange ways. They simply keep dying. She’s convinced that the famous crime author, Kloster, is responsible.

To help her prove this before every family member is dead, she asks a journalist, Esteban Rey, for help exposing his dark deeds.

But is it all really a very elaborate revenge scheme or is the main protagonist just paranoid and very unfortunate?! Coincidence or straight-up murder? That’s the mystery that needs to be solved. This latest Netflix movie is based on the novel “The Book of Murder” by Guillermo Martínez.

In other words, if you know the book, you’ll probably know the answer.

Diego Peretti plays the role of Kloster. An author that never really smiles and is quite the creeper – in most ways imaginable. He does an excellent job of portraying a very unlikable character. Especially in terms of highlighting the fact that just because you act like a total creep, you’re not necessarily a murderer. But, on the other hand, could be!

The investigative journalist, Esteban, is played by Juan Minujín (El marginal). He is barely functioning at his job and already holds a grudge toward Kloster, so he is quick to help Luciana. Also, Luciana worked as an assistant for both writers as they were both working on books twelve years earlier.

Luciana B is portrayed by Macarena Achaga (Amar a muerte). She does an impressive job of delicately threading that particular line between coming across as absolutely crazy and being very trustworthy.

The Wrath of God ending will probably be one that you either love or hate. Is it definitive? Well, you can view the ending of this Netflix movie as being very definitive if you accept what the characters are saying.
