Possibly the best foreign thriller of the year !

Rating: 8/10 (17 April 2010)

This is another good foreign thriller , one that could have been made by Hollywood ! The movie tells about the Morales case spread out over 25 years . We meet Benjamin Esposito who is a retired criminal investigator who decides to write a novel about the case , where a young girl was brutally raped and murdered . It sure isn't a movie about who has done it , in fact we already know that very early in the movie ; because of the flashbacks. The flashbacks tells us about the case when Benjamin was working on it . There is a constant degree of high performance acting in this movie especially Ricardo Darin ( EL AURA , NUEVE REINAS )who gives another solid performance .
In fact this movie is more about the people who get left behind when someone we love dies . It's about loss , dozens of memories and bittersweet revenge . Oh and another thing ..... with such a powerful ending of the movie we learn another thing about the cruel nature of us human beings .
There are a few thrillers that get a high rating from me , in fact the only thriller that i gave a high rating this year was SHUTTER ISLAND from Martin Scorsese , now i have found another one .....
It really deserves every point that i'm giving it . 8 / 10 .
