      Audience Member Javier Barden nos regala otra formidable actuacion en este film de Mariano Barroso, Federico Luppi, Daniel Guzman & Silvia Munt completan el reparto de ACTORES, sin efectos especiales, ni esplociones solo talento. Extraodrinaria. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Great vechicle for the young Javier Bardem in this film, he gets to show all kinds of emotions. The film follows a trio two guys and a girl as they rob their relatives to come up with the money they need to open the bar of their dreams. One member gets arrested during a botched robbery, so the remaining male disguises himself as the arrested guy to try and get money from his estranged father. Complications ensue and the disguised man starts to lose a grip of reality that causes his old friends to become fed up with him and a fast approaching confrontation with the real son. Due to a fast moving plot and great acting this film becomes hard to turn away from. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Yet again another great Javier Bardem movie!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Sublime. Una obra maestra no reconocida. Increíble que Barroso y Oristrell no volvieran a escribir juntos Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member What a great film to kill a rainy friday night. A young Javier bardem stars in this dramatic movie full of tension and deception. Three friends tired and looking for a quick way to make some cash as thieves let the seducing Javier Bardem to become the long lost son of a famous and wealthy Argentinan actor. The real son is one Javier's friend and one of the three thieves. You can see a young Bardem come to life and show signs of an actor on the rise. I saw this movie from an old beat up VHS copy and eventhough it was such a horrible quality of a copy it was worth the watch. The film isn't predictable, the acting was great, the story was pretty insane. As I watched the movie I started getting mad at the real son and wondered what I would feel if that happened to me. I recommend this flick to anyone, you won't be bored! Favorite Scene: Javier's contact falls out just as he is about to befreind the Father.
