Nueve reinas (2000)
Nine Queens
Nine Queens is a great, action-thriller that keeps you guessing till the very end. Set in Argentina,two small time scam artists meet up for a day and swindle money from unsuspecting people. Then they must figure out how to sell counterfeited stamps of the most rare stamp collection in the world, the "Nine Queens".
This movie is full of twists and turns in the plot, you never know what might happen next. The actors, Ricardo Darin, Gaston Pauls and Leticia Bredice do an excellent job in this movie. I would recommend this movie to all.
Very well directed by Fabian Bielinsky.
