Summary: Fabulous Gem from the Southern Cone
Review: This movie is clever, quick and keeps you guessing. The dialogue is smart. The performances by Ricardo Darin and Gaston Pauls are flawless. I saw at a Latin American Film festival on campus and everyone raved. -- Definitely worth the price of admission.

Summary: Beautifully played con game
Review: With more than a nod at The Sting, and David Mamet's House of Games, Nine Queens joins a select list of films about con artists. We meet Juan (Gastón Pauls) running a minor scam --and then there is another scam and another. Until we are not sure where we stand. Juan forms a partnership with Marcos (Ricardo Darín)to a do a master scam with the nine queens. How it turns out is the substance of a very fine film. Writer-director Fabián Bielinsky knows his stuff and can pace out a thriller. This is a tense and satisfying thriller.

Summary: very good film with some holes not patched up well
Review: yeah, you can write a script about con artists with as many twists as you like if you could twisted logically and reasonablely. the nine queens is such a movie that twisted beautifully when sitting and watching it plays itself out. but once you try to flash back the whole story, there are still lot of inexplanable holes that might spoil your first good impression of the film. yeah, try to think about who's bringing whom to the hotel to meet the supposed targeted con artists and how it could be arranged such encountering. should top notched con artists know each other or at least know who's in the market doing certain sting? a phony sister working in the hotel and help the other con to rip off her phony brother for 200gs? and how this scam is arranged and turned out to be the opposite? how? or you might explain it to yourself that the phony sister actually does not work in the hotel, then why other hotel workers would know her and let her walking around like a real employee? how could the con ring know that the issuing check bank would bankrupt right after the check payment and would make the check as a piece of useless toilet paper? does it mean that the bank itself is also involved or the mob outside of the bank also involved? how could the cons control such perfect timing with such such huge issue? furthermore, you think a smart con artist would accept a check? well, he might accept money order, cashier's check, travelers check, but definitely not a bank check that is so easy to be bounced. and how a street con artist doing daily small ripoffs would own 200gs? and if he's such a small timer already owns 200gs, he would definitely have retired. the whole arrangement of this story once retrospect carefully, those totally impossible twists would become more and more unacceptable. but if the sister does not show up in the final scene and become juan's lover, all might be overlooked and accepted tolerablely.
