Emptily entertaining caper film, from Argentina, about two small-time scammers who join forces for a big score: a counterfeit sheet of postage stamps purportedly from the Weimar Republic. As tricky as Mamet, if not as sharply written or directed (by Fabián Bielinsky, in his feature debut). The final payoff -- not the final mind-boggling plot twist, but the unearthing of the Rita Pavone golden oldie for which one of the scammers had been hunting the entire movie -- is exhilarating. (Trivia question: what's the earlier movie in which the tune was used?) Gastón Pauls, Ricardo Darín, Leticia Bredice. (2001) — Duncan Shepherd
