Credit El Bonaerense with journalistic single-mindedness and, given recent Argentine history, sheer guts.
Director Trapero drives home his message -- the thin line between crooks and cops -- without hitting viewers over the head or seeming to point fingers.
[A] powerful sweat-stained swatch of Argentine neo-realism.
The vapor traces of farce and policier that waft from this terribly earnest film never coalesce.
Wry, acerbic, satiric and moving.
Low budget and technically polished, El Bonaerense is a calm, simmering satire of a police force that is a power all to itself.
Brimming with wry humor, softened by the filmmaker's Renoir-like love of his protagonist, El Bonaerense is a masterful illustration of vitiation, the sort that simple men like Zapa are heir to.
Trapero again proves himself a master of mood, evoking the gritty, workaday world of contemporary Argentina that helped establish him as one of the most important young directors of the new Argentine cinema.
Stunningly shot in earthy graininess, Trapero's film feels so real it's hard to remember this is fiction.
A stark and troubling film.
