Movie Reviews of Caballos Salvajes
Movie Review: "I think we are in big trouble this time"
Summary: 5 Stars
This is not the only Argentinean production in which you can watch the tandem Alterio-Sbaraglia, and the reason for this is that the formula works perfectly. Just putting these two actors together in a room with an average script will result in a good movie, but when you add Cecilia Dopazo and a great script to the mix, the results are spectacular.
It all starts with Jose (Alterio) walking into a bank and threatening to kill himself unless Pedro (Sbaraglia) gives him the money he is asking for. But this is not a typical bank robbery, because Jose is only asking for the amount of money they stole from him when the bank declared bankruptcy and changed its name. He justs wants $15,344, but in his nervousness Pedro grabs a lot more than that and then leaves the bank with the old man as his "hostage".
And then, a beautiful journey starts, as the anarchist and the yuppie head south, with the police, the mafia and and uncompromising journalist (Fernan Miras) following their trail. A big part of the plot has to do with Pedro's doubts having to do with the contrast between the corrupt system in which he lived until now and the new world this wonderful renegade is showing him. Add to this Ana (Dopazo), a conflicted young woman who will contribute to Pedro's confusion, who will change the lives of our two main characters forever, and you have a hell of a movie.
If you really dislike films with a lot of cursing, you may have an issue with this one. But the amazing story, excellent performances, and cleverly selected music will do it for most people. You will laugh, you will cry, you will be amazed and overall, you will have a wonderful time.
