The Paramedic (2020) is a Netflix Spanish thriller staring Mario Casas.

Another good Spanish film… although I haven’t seen many! Another good Netflix film… although I haven’t watched many of them, either. Less than ten so far!

The Paramedic (in Spanish: El practicante) is a 2020 psychological thriller directed by Carles Torras, written by David Desola and Hèctor Hernández Vicens and starring Mario Casas and Déborah François. The Paramedic is released on 16 September 2020 by Netflix.

Mario Casas & Déborah François do superbly well. Both actors are quite fabulous. The film gripped me, and I was hardly bored. The plot is twisted. And it’s original to see a psychopath in a wheelchair. Good set-up, spicy dialogue.

There are just a few exaggerations that make this very dark, very dramatic film less than excellent, particularly the ending, which is debatable, even if relatively delicious and delectable. But being a really good film, on Netflix, these days… that’s not bad at all!

PS : In French, the title is “Irrémédiable”, meaning Irredeemable. And, in my opinion, it’s better than the Paramedic.

My Rating

Rating: 4 out of 5.
