Reviews

lvanexel I think the rating of 5+ is too high. The movie is pretentious and totally unconvincing. There is no character study, although the acting is nice. The music is OK. In short: disappointing and for me a waste of time.

BILLYBOY-10 This is a terrific film and has only 5 reviews all 10 & 9, so how come only 5.4? It deserves at least 6.8 since it's a really good film beginning to way amazing end. All performances are top notch and the story is super. Highly recommend.

ComedyFan2010 This movie is a great detective story set in Buenos Aires of the 80's.It probably would help to know more of Argentinian history and the corruption of that time. I am not too familiar with it but I still enjoyed the movie without concentrating on it. The spirit of the 80's is very well portrayed.Great acting and awesome cinematography. The scene of horses running down the street is great.The best part of the movie is having all the twists that make one change the view on what is going on. And until the very last shot one struggles to figure out who is right and who is not. At the same time while having great suspension the movie is also not too heavy on the mind and easy to watch.

The_Cool_Critic While IMDb movie ratings are typically on the spot, the rating for this film is one of those few instances where it is seriously off the mark. The movie deserves a definitely higher rating for it is one of those few movies that intelligently explore new terrain in a done to death genre in cinema -- which in this case is the investigative crime thriller.The premise of the film centers around the murder of the scion of a wealthy family and the investigation that follows.Damien Bichir and Chino Darin are the two leads here involved in the investigation and their performances perfectly complement the zany screenplay and apt writing. Although it is understandable that the movie lacked the mega millions that bankroll a Hollywood studio production, the execution here in terms of acting, photography, writing and the soundtrack is as good as it gets. Also, props to the makers for a surprisingly accurate recreation of the 80s ambiance without getting kitschy or tacky. The story has plenty of interesting twists, and that along with the excellent chemistry shared by the two male leads makes this one a must watch. For its unusual treatment and excellent production, this one gets an almost- perfect rating from me. Hopefully, we will see a sequel.
