The film contains all the ingredients needed for a crime thriller; plot twists, scenes with tense sequences, engaging storyline etc... The main fault in the movie is that when it ends the audiences are left wondering what it is they just witnessed. It feels like the building blocks of a fantastic film are scattered around here and there, without ever becoming a solid whole. Even so it manages to keep you engaged to the end wondering just what the final answer may be...
Overall its a good Argentinian thriller with Ricardo Darin's wonderful performance.
