This film from Argentina was pretty good. Good acting, directing and editing etc. The film starts fairly fast with a robbery committed by three young guys. One gets away, Rey, and winds up hiding out at the home of an older man and his wife. The story starts to look predictable, but turns out to be anything but that. The characters become well developed, and that aspect becomes interesting, as all roles in the film become pretty clear cut, except Rey himself, because as the plot thickens, the viewer could ask himself, do I like this guy or not. The language in the movie was pretty thick Agentinean Spanish dialect, but I saw it on HBO On Demand with English subtitles, so understanding the film was not an issue. I will say that the film was a little short, maybe a bit too faced paced, but still it was well done.

A good, terse thriller

An accidental coming together of a new entrant to crime and a family with a newly built greenhouse. Doesn't sound promising? Oh, but it is. Minimal background music, but when it comes in you notice it. Good acting, good plot, no pretense that violence is easy but not over the top either. Overall, a good watch with little fat in the script so you never get bored. I'd recommend it if it comes to a screen near you.
