Carancho (2010)

Director:   Pablo Trapero
Writers:    Pablo Trapero, Alejandro Fadel, Martin Mauregui
Language: Spanish
In Argentina over 8,000 people die in traffic accidents every year. Behind each of these tragedies is a flourishing industry founded on insurance payouts and legal loopholes. In the backdrop this Argentine film tells the story of the relationship that develops between an ambulance chasing vulture (Ricardo Darin) and a drug addicted doctor (Martina Gusman).

Films manages to capture the environment in a brutal and realistic manner. The film is essentially a cliched in the sense that it has the typical love smitten corrupt character doing his last job before coming clean but things go awry. Still its a good film that manages to capture the corrupt system in celluloid.

Rating: 3.5/5
