Carancho (2010)
8/10
A good story and a good effort, but...

Warning: Spoilers
A good story and a good effort, hard though, but is not as good as Darin's previous hit, "El Secreto de sus ojos".

The story is a real good one, a truly hard and real story, that could happen everywhere on America, and Europe, as far as i know, obviously with "the Argentinian touch", expressions and such...

The movie is actually well conducted, well acted, and the scenes are pretty credible, but when we look at this movie we first thought on the previous Argentinian big screen hit, and the previous Ricardo Darin's one, and isn't even closer to the captivating story and scenes from "El Secreto de sus ojos", and i wouldn't be surprised if this one doesn't reach any Oscar nomination this year, besides from that is a truly enjoyable movie, maybe too short because the main idea could handle a few more minutes of narration and even, a few more twists.

The ending of the movie is pretty predictable, (you know when you play with fire...) but is good enough to close the film.

Actually i would say this movie is more than a 7 but less than an 8...in my opinion, 7.5 should have been the best rate for the movie, and the summary line "A good story, pretty enjoyable movie" but not far away than that.
