Nine Queens ( Nueve Reinas) was an easy going movie that i really enjoyed watching. Well developed storyline and precise camera work made a simple story and interesting light thriller into a movie that takes you inside of him and let's you experience the life of each character. Finding a quality of yourself in any of them drags you in to the movie even more.
The movie tells a story about two grifters Juan and Mark who meet unexpectedly in the middle of Juan's scam. Ironicly but one get's scammed by another, but on contrary that doesn't lead to a clash between two of them, it lead's to a partnership. Where more experienced "crook" is in a need of new partner.
A step by step story telling is crossing with unexpected turns make's you still wonder what is going to happen next. During the movie you give a take the sympathy to the character when you begin to know the reasons why they are in to the mess they are now. You can see the parallel between the main story and the side stories that are being told by the main characters. Both main actors Ricardo Darin & Gaston Pauls have developed their characters and delivered the message to viewer. When it begins with small affairs and builds up their relatioship between each other and they seriousness of their scams, when they become more and more serious if only a short period of time. That lead's them to the biggest scam of their lives - selling fake post signs "Nine Queens" to a collectionare.
