an low-budget slow argentine Falklands War film
javiercba14 May 2020
Is a low budget argentine film, with actors not very well known about the Falklands War between Argentina and the United Kingdom in 1982. Based on real events, is the story of three soldiers from a small town in the province of Córdoba who were recruited to participate in the landing of Argentine dictatorship army in the islands of the South Atlantic. The dialogues are basics, not very emotional, but the good photography in natural environments of Cordoba, Buenos Aires, Chubut and on the Falkland Islands themselves stands out. Except for a few action scenes of direct confrontation between opposing soldiers, the film runs very slowly. The musicalization is also poor. The performances are not good (Except for a brief appearance by Hugo Arana), added to a bad musicalization they get worse.

There is talk about the graves of unknown argentine soldiers fallen on the islands, and the first attempts to identify them.

From the middle it looks like another movie! all the action is over, and it becomes much slower, super slow! with endless forced dialogues.

I personally think it would have been better to use the money invested in the movie to make a documentary on the war instead of this movie.

In summary it was a good attempt, but this type of productions still has a lot to improve.
