Excellent - also a useful comment on all the swearing

Rating: 10/10 (2 February 2010)

Not usually a fan of Argentine movies, I must confess I found this one outstanding. While I agree with a previous reviewer that Rago's performance is weak, i don't think the ending is ruined by it. As a matter of fact, having been twice to watch it at the cinema i can attest that the ending had a profound impact on almost everyone both times.
As to this same reviewer's comment that he finds the references to Racing club in the killers letters not credible, I think quite the opposite, he was very careful in not giving himself away, but the point is made that it was precisely his passion he could not bring under control, that finally got him busted.
An last but not least, all the swearing in the language is not to be understood as childish scriptwriting.... most of us argentines truly speak like that in our everyday life.
