What can be most dark than a lawyer who try to found victims of crashes to take insurance money? This is the darkest thriller besides el aura, all night start and a few day scenes, is the most dark ricardo darin has been, but is so bad he never made something so thrilling. Besides the night setting, the gritty and dirty look, the almost surreal light in the night scenes, and the tone, i can say that even if is dark, i can watch this movie every week. Is a dark thriller about argentinian suburbs and doctors and lawyers in the night time, that feels real and never stops.

Darin plays the lawyer in the wrong side of the law, nearly trying to avoid his fate...and finding in martina gusman his redemption, even if neither the lawyer or the doctor are in their best, she half the movie looks tired, and the lawyer is doing wrong just to get money...so you know this movie would be a character driven drama, and takes enough time to show that still theres light in the darkness, and theres small jokes just to uplift before the even more dramatic takes the movie have.

Is the kind of movie i would direct. Is not about bad people. Is more about people who take the less taken road, but they want to get it right before the end...and the whole movie is the trip.

If u like nightcrawler,man on fire or true detective, this movie is right for you.
