i'm sorry to say this recent chilean film is all but unfit for human consumption.
it's the clichéd story of small time criminals around santiago's horse racing circuit. numbers runner leo, his old girlfriend gloria who returns to the neighborhood after years in miami, her brother pedro, and "el jefe", the mob boss.
as you may very well have guessed, leo and gloria rekindle their affair, while pedro hatches a plan to bilk "el jefe", which of course goes horribly... (yawn). el jefe starts resorting to extreme measures to get his money back, but at some point, his goals shift inexplicably, and he only cares about bedding leo's old/new girlfriend. that this should happen is presented as some kind of unthinkable tragedy, even though gloria was shown to give this guy a blow job in a teenage flashback!
even though this was the first chilean film i've ever seen, the plot felt as stale as last week's empanadas. but not only that; every single line uttered throughout the film was a regurgitated cliché as well. the characters were ill-defined and paper-thin. the direction was totally serious and devoid of humor, despite the threadbare plot. and another hallmark of the bad movie: the utterly meaningless title.
the only thing this movie could possibly offer is a glimpse of realistic chilean locations, vernacular and music.
sorry to be so harsh on the filmmakers, but this film was a big disappointment.
