That's the best movie about Argentina dictatorship that I have seen since GARAGE OLIMPO, back in 2001. There was COMPANEROS of course, but I prefered this one. Any movie buff could thnk about L'AVEU, the Costa Gavras masterpiece. The Argentinian government at this time hired not even militaries but hoodlums to execute the dirty work, as French De Gaulle's henchmen did during Algerian war, against OAS. But this bunch of goons were wiped out by former elite paratroopers of the OAS, in Algiers, before OAS was finally dismantled. In Argentina, only war d defeat in Falklands made this dictatorship eventually collapse. Back to tis feature, it is an awesome and painful piece of work, believe me, and also a powerful character study, depressing, gloomy. But it deserves to be seen to fully understand things that were not always fully explained. Not for all audiences.
