The story of this movie is exciting. There are many details that only those who are very attentive sometimes understand. There is talk of the dictatorship in Argentina of that time and how the corruption already affected the police. Teaches values of justice and morals. I found it very meaningful that the investigator tried to relive his past by regretting the decisions made.

I am raised in u.s. but lived in c. america and mexico; so i see a lot of spanish and english movies. often times movies i like that i see in l. america really would not be appreciated by most americanos. However this move is really something all would enjoy. the acting and writing is so amazing. this would be a good movie for those americans who shy away from foreign flicks. I also appreciated the subtle use of spanish and various dialects and even prejudices. this was a simply outstanding film. and kudos to ms quevedo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1also, it was refreshing for a 'thriller' to have an ending i had not guessed.

I am writing this review after seeing this excellent piece of work, this is my very first review and the last one , i have been seeing movies for the past decade and never came across something like that which compelled me to write a review trust me i have most probably see every movie in IMDb top250 , about the movie i would just say it is one of a kind a very different and unexpected experience 10/10 for me don't miss this , any one who avoids foreign films because of subtitles i would say begin from this film,and also not miss Amlie, Intouchable's, Wild Tales. {[(God Bless)]}.<<---this is a blessing not a Film :-).

Not easy to write about a movie that so seamlessly and naturally combines humor, and really good one, with a greater than life romance and crimes, in the backdrop of political turmoil and chaos. The mystery within the mystery is so hypnotic that you can see it several times and not get bored and every detail, every shot and camera angle. A true masterpiece that will resonate to local audiences for many years and yet endure the universality themes of love, envy, sacrifice and friendship. If you haven't see it...go on and do so. One of the best pictures ever....and I'm a Star Wars fan.
