Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Very best movie i ever watch

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Didn't like the movie at all. It's the story of a bored man who gets into trouble just because he doesn't know what to do. It was disappointing. The ending is what you expect in any Argentinean movie... Just nothing. I give it 3 stars only because Dolores Fonzi is the cutest thing alive. I do not recommend it. If you want to see a good Argentinean movie, go for ¨Relatos Salvajes¨ or ¨El Secreto Se Sus Ojos¨. And If you really feel like going for an indie movie, I even liked ¨Wakolda¨ better than this one... Or ¨XXY¨.

Fabián Bielinsky's last movie excellently performed by Argentina big star , Ricardo Darin . It deals with Espinoza (magnificent , as always , Ricardo Darin) is a quiet taxidermist who secretly dreams of executing the perfect crime. On his first ever hunting trip, in the calm of the Patagonian forest, his dreams are made reality with one squeeze of the trigger. Espinoza accidentally murders an old man named Dietrich (Manuel Rodal) married a young girl (a young Dolores Fonzi gives an enjoyable acting ) who results out to be a real criminal and inherits his scheme: the heist of an armored van carrying casino profits. Caught up in a world of complex new rules and frightening violence, Espinoza's lack of experience puts him in real danger. And he has another, more dangerous liability : he is an epileptic. Before each seizure he is visited by the ''aura'' . These attacks appear without notice when he least expects them, just when he needs all his wits about him .This is a co-production Argentina/Spain , being well paced , skillfully edited and suspenseful . Interesting and exciting movie about a deluded taxidermist who plans the perfect robbery ; it is plenty of thrills , intense drama , violence , action and is pretty interesting . However , the picture turns out to be overlong and slow moving . Very good acting by Ricardo Darin as a shy taxidermist who suffers epilepsy attacks , a paradoxical moment of confusion and enlightenment where the past and future seem to blend , and he is obsessed with committing the perfect crime. Darin is an excellent leading figure of the most important Argentinian movies such as "El Faro" (1998), "El Mismo Amor La Misma Lluvia" (1999), "Nueve Reinas" (2000), "La Fuga" (2001) and especially ¨El Hijo de la Novia¨ . Stirring as well as sensitive musical score by Lucio Godoy , an extraordinary composer expert on dark atmospheres such as ¨Rage¨, ¨Night runner¨, ¨The others¨, ¨Intacto¨ and many others . Colorful and evocative cinematography by Checco Varese . The motion picture well produced by great producers Gerardo Herrero and Victor Hadida , was compellingly directed by Fabian Bielinsky , in his second and last film , the first was also successful titled ¨9 Reinas¨ also starred by Ricardo Darin and even had an American remake . Fabian sadly deceased at 47 years old . This is an above average film and Argentina's official submission to the 2006 Academy Awards for the category of Foreign Language Film . The picture will appeal to Ricardo Darin fans and thriller aficionados .

This film keeps you glued in your seat for over 2 hours.A shy taxidermist stumbles into a well planned heist.The story is good and the directing intelligent you are never insulted or bored.... You have to suspend some disbelief about this occurring but not enough to ruin any thing.The actors are perfect... even the brother and sister look just alike (how rare in a film).Subplots believable. The action perfect everything is good about this movie.Highly recommend it.Even the dog is perfect.

Nothing exceptionally spectacular about the plot of this film, nor even the dialogue. The film's appeal comes from the amazing scene sequencing and the odd, cerebral personality of the protagonist. The character basically lends credence to the thought : brain power will always dwarf physical power. Fabian Bielinsky (the director) doesn't short-change his audience with superfluous characters and unaccounted for detail. Each character (and scene)is the there for a strong purpose - to support the lead and the plot. Details that initially appear unnecessary are later explained. Kudos and kudos to the dog's trainer, whose work is reminiscent of the interaction of Kevin Costner and the wolf in Dances with Wolves. Since the credits were in Spanish, I was unable to distinguish the trainer's name, but did find the Dog's name - Eva.
