Good start but gets lost in second half
By a customer from London , 31 May 2012[Highly rated reviewer]
Ricardo Darin is very watchable, as he always is, in this film about a small time shyster who chases ambulances and his relationship with a newly qualified lady doctor. The story is fascinating and well acted for the first half. After that, it seems to have lost its way. The story became confusing and had the fell of essential elements having been edited out.- Was this review helpful to you?

(18)Carancho = Vulture
By juggernautdave (4 reviews) , 27 Apr 2013Ricardo Darin is a very talented actor in this movie. A thrilling South American movie that really holds it's own alongside similarly themed films such as Amores Perros and Elite Squad.
The movie is well paced and always leaves you second guessing the end and not in a pretentious manner either.
Well worth a watch and possibly even a discussion.- Was this review helpful to you?

A Hard-Nosed Love Story
By McMalaga (6 reviews) , 28 Nov 2012Very intense and gripping film, beginning slowly but drawing you into a combined love story (in the most unsugary way imaginable) and modern, gritty, film noir.
Maybe if we keep on reducing and privatising the NHS, we too can have a health service like that portrayed in Buenos Aires, Argentina......
Ricardo Darín is excellent as always, displaying more emotion in a 2 second glance than most Hollywood actors show throughout an entire 90 minute film. Hadn't watched Martina Gusmán before but I shall certainly be looking out for her now. I've seen a couple of films by the director (and husband of Gusmán), Pablo Trapero and he is a real talent - well worth tracking down his back catalogue.- Was this review helpful to you?

Love knows no boundaries
By insomniac (88 reviews) from Malvern , 24 Nov 2012This is a grim story about two people in an impossible situation who fall in love. They are an unlikely pair who are thrown together by circumstances, and who find security and comfort in each other's company. He sells personal insurance while she works as an ambulance doctor treating people who are involved in road accidents. The film is hard to watch at times, with graphic scenes of road casualties, but it sheds light on the harsh brutality of life for the poor in Argentina and on a shocking racket.- Was this review helpful to you?

Couldn't decide whether it was 'good' or 'average'.
By gingerspike (410 reviews) from Grimsby , 05 Nov 2012An interesting and original film that was both well shot and well acted. It kept me watching with interest and had some great moments but it wasn't a great film. The subject matter is a bit grim but hey such things are a fact of life.- Was this review helpful to you?

Grim, harsh but a well acted and written film.
By JoshGrey (44 reviews) , 16 Oct 2012A grim harsh film that drags you to an equally dark and downbeat ending. Worth watching but don't expect to see the light at the end of the tunnel. If you do step to one side it's almost certainly a large juggernaut!- Was this review helpful to you?
