Kóblic

When you are a good guy but your profession, the place you've chosen in society, in this case, Argentina in the 70's and be, unwillingly, part of a dictatorship, you know that by not following orders you'll be forever an outcast. Revenge might be the only way out to clear your guilty thoughts and the ghosts from the past that might come to knock at your door. Justice taken by our own hands seems to be sometimes the only possibility when the Law is not enough. Ricardo Darin, no doubt an excellent actor, is somehow overshadowed by Blanco, an outstanding performer as the "bad" character in an Argentinian province small town. Truly amazing acting,showing how powerfully the "amiguismo",nepotism, which is the most common accepted form of corruption in the world, work in some communities and some countries. Perhaps translation won't help to show this important movie that deals with human rights and human actions.

Captain Tomas Koblic is a Navy pilot who runs away from an air force before his retirement. Now, With the help of a friend Koblic hides in a small town. The sheriff of that town was not very fond of Koblic and starts to investigate about his past. The script looks interesting, but it takes time to establish the main reason behind all this. Darin is one of the finest actors of the Argentine film industry who can handle any type of roles and Koblic's character was safe in his hands. The casting plays a key role in the movie and on the technical side, it has an efficient art direction. Overall, it's a well crafted thriller drama and I really enjoyed it.

Good storyline. Some sad parts too. The storyline is fiction but some parts include true things that happened. Just a nice guy trying to do the right thing and other nice people help him out too.

After watching this movie I thought it was an interesting take on what an Argentinian pilot might do after feeling guilty about their actions during the guerra sucia. However, I think that they try to spin Kóblic as being this hero even when he didn't do anything to prevent the deaths of more innocent Argentinians by the hands of the military. However, I do think the movie can be interesting at point and it does have good drama along with some twists and turns. The ending does almost feel like a hero ending, but I think that Kóblic's actions stoop to the levels of the military and he should have taken the high road. Although he was fending for himself at points, and for his life I wouldn't go to the lengths that He did to prove his point.

Movie is perfectly executed, actors are top notch and scenario is flawless.

The story is perfectly credible on all accounts (unfortunately).

Yes, the love story is foreseeable at the beginning and that was clearly intended by the director.

A must watch.
