A very routine film, 23 January 2005
1/10
Author: asidsmith from Whitley Bay

I agree with the comments posted elsewhere about this movie. I watched it on TV last night and was profoundly disappointed with it. Flat, lack-lustre, predictable, obvious and pedestrian - and that was just the lead actor.

A picket fence would have injected more human emotion and conflict into the part than this guy.

Whilst accepting that subtitles will squeeze some of the life out of any script this one was tragically DOA. I kept waiting for the various plot points to begin to knit together but all they did was flap around.

I look for a movie to tell me something about the world and people who inhabit it. Hell, it might even be entertaining while its at it! This movie didn't tell me anything about society in Buenos Aires nor did it illuminate the actions of the poor folk who had to wander around being spouting a third-rate script that a twelve-year old would be able to knock out.

Avoid.
