... View MoreI really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

... View MoreThis is a memorable and good movie, proving strength of Argentinian cinema.While the movie is great on so many levels, some details of the plot are not so believable. However, strong delivery makes this not so important. It is atmospheric peace, that shows you some Argentinian culture and problems. However, it is also a powerful examination of justice in a dysfunctional system, has many memorable moments as a great movie would. So it can be forgiven its imperfections. By any means it is a refreshing and original movie, somewhat subtle which is what is the main advantage of such films over Hollywood industrial product.
... View MoreThe story of this movie is exciting. There are many details that only those who are very attentive sometimes understand. There is talk of the dictatorship in Argentina of that time and how the corruption already affected the police. Teaches values of justice and morals. I found it very meaningful that the investigator tried to relive his past by regretting the decisions made.
... View MoreSome movies just connect with us more deeply and increase our respect towards films. This is one of such movies. The way story is told and the impact it leaves after we finished watching can't be explained in in words. Even though I watched the whole movie with the help of subtitles(as it is in Spanish) , I never felt any significant difference in movie experience , it's largely due to amazing acting and direction. One of the unforgettable movies I watched ever.Final 30 minutes is just mind blowing.
