Morte em Buenos Aires

I loved this movie. I can't understand the low rating. It's very well written, acted and directed. It's a great character study, there is a good deal of comedy in it, as well as suspense and drama. It's also very believable overall. The 80s ambient is very well recreated, not only through the music and the clothes, but also people's attitudes and mentality, and therefore it compliments the plot. It's hard to say anything more without revealing any spoilers, but if you'd like some light entertainment with a good movie that doesn't take itself too seriously and yet it delivers on so many levels and succeeds to engage, to entertain and surprisingly even to make you reflect about life on a deeper level, this movie is for you. All I can say is the movie is good , and you can make whatever you want from it - a light evening entertainment or a good psychological and character study.

One of films nice crafted, the contrast between Demian Bichir and Chino Darin working more than nice, like the family problem of Chavez. A film proposing, not in bad way, different spices and perspectives , reflecting a time and a world, reasonable acted . A serious fist of cliches and the slippery charm of Ganso as axis .

The huge problem - the predactibility, hoping than the too obvious clues about killer to not be confirmed.

Modest film, indeed, but interisting for smart use of homosexual theme, for horses runnin in night, for the portrait of Chavez, reminding old fashion cops at duty

.

The crime plot line is nothing special but that was forgivable: it's not really the murder that matters but it gets investigated and here the investigation was written lazily. The romantic subplot had the potential to be explosive but it felt forced and rushed, because the male lead lacked chemistry.

Darín is so good tho. So handsome!!!

While IMDb movie ratings are typically on the spot, the rating for this film is one of those few instances where it is seriously off the mark. The movie deserves a definitely higher rating for it is one of those few movies that intelligently explore new terrain in a done to death genre in cinema -- which in this case is the investigative crime thriller.

The premise of the film centers around the murder of the scion of a wealthy family and the investigation that follows.Damien Bichir and Chino Darin are the two leads here involved in the investigation and their performances perfectly complement the zany screenplay and apt writing. Although it is understandable that the movie lacked the mega millions that bankroll a Hollywood studio production, the execution here in terms of acting, photography, writing and the soundtrack is as good as it gets. Also, props to the makers for a surprisingly accurate recreation of the 80s ambiance without getting kitschy or tacky. The story has plenty of interesting twists, and that along with the excellent chemistry shared by the two male leads makes this one a must watch.

For its unusual treatment and excellent production, this one gets an almost- perfect rating from me. Hopefully, we will see a sequel.
