On an ordinary night, three teenage friends—Hernán, Chiri, and Colo—meet up in an apartment to smoke, laugh, and pull one of their usual pranks: the pennant strategy. The idea is simple: to confuse Colo by making him think his door is a different one, hanging a Boca Juniors pennant as a false signal. But what begins as a harmless joke turns into tragedy when the plan goes awry and a mix-up leads to Colo being shot while trying to enter the wrong apartment.
Overall, “Dark Fate” is a run-of-the-mill flick. Together, Reyes and Davis have excellent chemistry, but their characters’ story is nothing new, lacking surprise and deep emotion. During the middle points, the film drags considerably, and when the action hits, it feels consistently tight, eliminating the rhythm and fluidity of conflicts.
