Quality Crime Drama.

Rating: 8/10 (23 July 2015)

A crime drama set in Argentina. A husband's wife is killed and initially the police blame two foreign workers for the murder. An investigating lawyer protests at the police corruption behind the accusation. The lawyer and his colleague have a strong sense of justice that drives them to track down the real killer who is imprisoned for the crime. However, he is soon released when the police find him to be useful for infiltrating organizations they are investigating.
The lawyers are frustrated in their attempts to see that justice is fully done and one of the lawyers is eventually shot by the murderer's acquaintances. The film ends with us realizing that the husband of the killed woman has tracked down the killer and has imprisoned him in a room in an isolated house, thus ensuring that justice is done.
The film begins with the lawyer considering writing a novel about the legal case and he consults a senior lawyer he worked with at the time and with whom he had always wanted to have a romance. The film flashes back 25 years to the time of the original crime.
A satisfying, clever story but perhaps more complex than it needs to be resulting in it also being longer than might be necessary..
