100 minute running time so the perfect length … this is a story set in 1980 Argentina, post-Peron, when the Junta was firmly in control and there was martial law and widespread “disappearances” of enemies of the state … anyway, this Swiss private banker arrives in Buenos Aires to look for the bank’s partner stationed there who has also disappeared … arriving from Geneva, this guy and his wife are both super suave, speak perfect Spanish and French and English, are immaculately groomed and beautifully dressed … the banker is there to calm the waters in the wake of his partner’s disappearance … the super rich of Argentina are all on edge because the new government is arbitrarily seizing their property and stealing their goodies (like their racehorses) and disappearing their children… we discover that behind all their good looks and good manners, etc. this Swiss banker is working for both the murderous new regime and the rapidly vanishing old elite … he’s polished and urbane but he’s also washing blood money … he’s an amoral money-grubber, but this isn’t news to anyone who knows anything about the history of Swiss bankers. The movie was slickly made but few Murkans will be able to sit through it since it’s subtitled. I didn’t dislike it, but it also doesn’t rate a recommendation from me either.

Anthony Lane’s well-written review.
