Morte em Buenos Aires

The film looks good and the acting is fine. Chino Darín is especially talented and appealing. The story, however, is kinda dumb and very thin. Key characters are not really fleshed out or fully explained. The twist is contrived and also underexplained.

This movie was compelling to watch because it was unique, had a lot of twists and turns and one of the leads was young, masculine and attractive. Good acting. High production values, but the end was a complete let down. I actively hated the entire movie after seeing the ending. It was truly disgusting!!! It was a deliberate, pathetic trick played by the screenwriter. Those who gave this high marks are sadistic. If this had been a high production "straight" movie, this ending would not have stood. But since it's a gay movie and gays are loathed as well as self-loathing, this type of ending is considered "acceptable" by the screenwriter/director. As a gay person, seeking positive gay themed entertainment, I resent this attitude with a passion!!!

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

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.
