gavin6942 A road movie that begins when a man tries to rob a bank and the bank's clerk, a yuppie, pretends the thief has kidnapped him to help him run away. While they're running away, they meet a girl who becomes part of the team.While I may not know much about Argentinian cinema, I do know that this is a strange adventure. It gets increasingly hectic as it goes, with the second half being far more high-intensity than the first. The initial bank robbery and "kidnapping" are the least of the plot points.Luckily this never devolves into complete madness. Possibly semi-madness, but nothing quite like "Mad Max" though it does have elements of a world that is beyond saving.
NICO Caballos Salvajes is about an older looking man who steals a large sum of money from the bank and then goes on the run with a bank worker who decides to help him out. Although the relationship between both men was very hostile right from the start, throughout their trip to the south of Argentina both men begin to talk through their problems and grow close. During the trip the men realize that they are involved in something bigger than just a bank robbery and they are faced with different circumstances which they resolve together. The movie includes serious circumstances surrounding the main characters, but is also filled with comedy in the way in which they handle their business and in the dialogue. Towards the end of the movie we are faced with the revealing of some facts and the mood of the movie switches to a much more tender and loving one. Overall the movie is very comical and exciting, and the acting very much entertaining.
Carman Kubanda When you first start watching Caballos Salvajes it is a little bit confusing; by this I mean that the movie starts out with a "sort-of" bank robbery in which you are not quite certain of what exactly is taking place, in fact you don't fully understand (or at least I didn't) until 1/3 of the way through the movie. I think that the director did this on purpose because it is evident that even the characters don't know what's happening for quite some time; that was done to reinforce the continuity of the film. Since this movie is from 1995 the image quality and clarity isn't quite what most are used to and sometimes the subtitles are misspelt but if you can look past that it is actually a very well done movie.The plot, as I said before is uncertain in the beginning, but by the last half of the movie we see that it has turned into the easily discernible genre of a "road movie." For example: José (Hector Alterio) at the beginning of the movie is cynical and even suicidal but towards the end he is happy and says he is actually living. The movie also takes on the message of corruption, because José just wanted the money the bank had stolen from him but through chance him and Pedro take 500,000 dollars of money that was probably from illegal operations like drug smuggling. Pedro & José are not corrupt and they give the money back, but they give it back to the people. They in turn, are considered heroes by the public (modern day Robin Hoods as noted by someone else) in fact almost everywhere they go they are helped out by the people they meet. This movie brings to light corruption in the banking industry of Buenos Aires and classically shows that good prevails, even though José is killed in the end, he is at least happy.
isaias adames This movie is fantastic. There are unexpected amazing things which happen at the start of the movie that make up for rest of it and make you feel like you don't need to see further.It is the story of Jose, a very decent man, not a thief at all, who goes to a bank to ask for $13,314 he was stolen by this bank for 18 years or he shoots himself.It is also the story of Pedro, the bank clerk who empties all the money in the Bank's Vice-President desk into Jose's bag. After this he pretends to be taken hostage by Jose to help him escape. Once on the run, they realize they've taken 500,000 dollars which belong to the mob. Jose only wants the the $13,314 he is owed.Joined by a young girl they meet on the way, The Indomables(the untamed), as they are called, begin an intense voyage of friendship, adventure and solidarity from lots of people they meet along the way.Their goal: Getting from Buenos Aires to a small border town with Brazil, where Jose has unfinished business.
