Un Coup De Maître

Guillermo Francella and Luis Brandoni deliver a high quality performance and form a memorable duo. Moreover, the film is generally successful even if the scenario is sometimes perfectible, with 2/3 insufficiently credible transitions . But this remains secondary. I loved it!

I really enjoyed this movie, was above expectations. Living as a foreigner in Buenos Aires, Argentina, I quickly recognized the strong Argentinean culture elements in this movie about relationships and how people interact in Argentina. The friendship is one strong element that is shown how it survives with all ups and downs, but also how businesses are dealt here locally is well portrayed.

Besides that, the directing and acting of the key characters is well done, very convincing, and able to time the moments and express themselves in their settings.

The camera work and music are two other pluspoints, well taken and integrated, and able to picture the city as well as the landscapes.

The script is relaxing with some some good and funnny comedy scenes, as well as some exciting scenes to keep the plot moving. The speed the story is told is good, not too boring while still keeping the viewer well maintained of how the plot unravels.

Really enjoyed it.

I gave it a 9 because I watch many movies, and i like this one a lot and I have not yet seen a 10.

Buenisima pelicula, para ver en familia! muy divertida y excelente actuación

This is a film about true friendship, Argentinian style. In my country friendship is some kind of religión we all profess. So we feel touched by the situations in this film. Another good reason to watch it is enjoy the actors' great work. Impressive, even when we know they are among the best actors of Argentina. Great movie! go watch it.

Very amusing all the way through. Guillermo Francella was also in The Secret in Their Eyes (the Argentinian version), where he displayed the exact same dead-pan humor playing as Pablo Sandoval. In fact the whole movie seemed to be written for his style of humor (tongue-in-cheek).
