Storyline

Against the backdrop of an increasingly-powerful police state, Miguel returns to Buenos Aires. An innocent bystander, he's shot by a rogue cop, Morea, at a political demonstration. To avoid scandal, the police place Miguel in the hospital as a John Doe, where nurses are drawn to his bedside. A tipster notifies the press and Miguel's father and also phones Morea with threats to expose and even kill him. Meanwhile, Miguel is in a coma, able to hear but not speak. Eventually he rouses himself and begins his own hunt for Morea, who remains calm, cool, and lethal. After the drama of cop, victim, and vigilante plays out, there may be worse times to come.

User Reviews

How could a movie with both Charly Garcia and the angel Moroni be so disappointing?

I mostly only saw this movie because Charly Garcia did the soundtrack and co-stared in it. Actually, the whole thing felt like a really long music video, like "The Wall" maybe, only not as good. I did the like the cinematography a lot, and it was really nice to hear buenairense Spanish for a change, but overall the film seemed a little too incoherent for me to make much sense of it. The ending tied things together a bit more for me, but still not enough to redeem it. I guess I just expected a lot more from this movie. The only real surprise I got was seeing the angel Moroni in it about halfway through. I'm not sure, was that supposed to be symbolic, or did they just throw it in there to be cool?
