Director: Juan José Campanella
Stars: Ricardo Darín, Soledad Villamil and Pablo Rago
Language: Spanish (w/ English Subtitles)
Very thought provoking in several levels: lost love and opportunity; lost conviction to a man who played the system; the faults of friends and bureaucracy; crime and punishment; the value (or rather the lack of) death penalty; what would you do in each of the roles; etc. This is very powerful story. A sign of a good story/movie is its ability to make you think about it during and afterwards. The acting is superb. My Rating: 8.0
