Rock, Paper, Scissors

About This Movie

Rock, Paper, Scissors is an intriguing blend of action, crime, and drama that grips you right from the start. The premise is deceptively simple—a children's game—yet it spirals into a harrowing tale of betrayal and desperation. The pacing feels raw, almost frantic at times, mirroring the chaotic lives of the two families at its center. Hernán Jabes creates a gritty atmosphere, using practical effects to heighten the tension without over-relying on CGI. Performances are solid, particularly the leads who bring a palpable depth to their characters. There's a distinct sense of moral ambiguity that lingers long after the credits roll, making it a notable entry in the genre. It's a look at how innocence can be twisted in a city that spares no mercy.
