Neighbors band together to recover their money from a corrupt lawyer and a bank manager during the Corralito bank crisis in Argentina.

Critics Consensus

A heist film that doesn't take any risks within the genre, Heroic Losers goes down in history as a well-acted, feel-good underdog story of a motley crew exacting justice.

Sydney Morning Herald

It's an amiable confection with a touch of cold fury at its heart. Most Argentinians will understand the pain behind the comedy.

As they build to the main event, the filmmakers offer enough small surprises to engage us.

A funny and entreteined movie. The dramatic moments aren't as important as they could be, but at the end the better thing of the movie is its kind of comedy.
