"Secret" not so exciting

Rating: 5/10 (15 May 2011)

In this film by Juan José Campanella Esposito, a retired legal counsel, decides to write a novel about one of his past cases in hopes of finding closure. The case was an unresolved homicide of Liliana Morales, wife of Ricardo Morales. Decades later he returns to Buenos Aires to talk with some of the people involved in the case and he ends up discovering more than he expected to.
This film was funny at times and also had an interesting twist with all of the detective work and Esposito went back through the period of time when he was investigating the crime. The ending is far from what I was expecting and I'm not sure that I like it.
The movie brings into question the idea of justice and how it is served, while providing a slight criticism of the government and their dealings within the judicial system. It definitely gets the audience thinking about what sort of punishment is justified for a crime and whether or not it is the government's responsibility to carry out justice.
