Kóblic

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.

Better watch bad boys than this, this movies makes no sense.

I felt like I wanted something more from this movie. It's hard to put a finger on exactly what. I think that it's set entirely in a sleepy little country town might not have helped in terms of it being a bit 'thin on the ground.'

The cast performances are quite enjoyable. Especially the main characters. We've got a good guy who's new in town... or what we hope deep down is a good guy with a dark past who 'had to do what he had to do' during bad times. We've got a bad guy; a dodgy local cop who's been around far too long and enough to have his bent fingers in every piece of pie and the pockets of those he does favors for. Sandwiched in between is a stunningly beautiful but bored-stiff young lady who should have left town years ago, but didn't.

The backdrop of the story touches on the factual murders of possibly thousands of political opponents of a repressive regime in Argentina. Horrifically, a significant number were thrown to their deaths over the Pacific Ocean from a great altitude.

The movie is definitely worth a look. It has its own unique style in terms of direction and wherever it might be lacking, it makes up for with interesting (if not dodgy) characters plotting and weaving their way around each other.

The ending is worth the wait. You definitely have the sense that the film is building towards some sort of climax and it delivers enough here to warrant the watch. Keep an open mind on it. Without budgetary and or other constraints, maybe more could have been done with it. But I think it deserves a 7 or better as a contemporary effort on a subject that might still be very raw in the aforementioned country.

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.

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.
