The brutal “disappearances” that marked the Videla regime in Argentina continued even after the dictator’s fall in 1981, but the motive quickly changed from politics to profit. Arquímedes Puccio—played here by a fantastically terrifying Guillermo Fancella (The Secret in Their Eyes)—kidnapped several wealthy men and women and held them for ransom in the basement of his home, using domineering control over his family and—for a time—the tacit protection of police to do so. Featuring masterfully precise camera work and an unforgettable soundtrack, Pablo Trapero’s biographical drama is an intense thrill ride that invokes the spirit of Martin Scorsese’s best crime films.
