Sin dudas una de las mejores poducciones de habla hispana. Un film inteligente, interesante y con excelentes actuaciones por parte de Darin y Pauls.

An interesting heist movie that draws you in slowly but surely...it's not action-packed but full of delightful and mischievous surprises along the way.

MCT:April 2, 2008Mi segunda pelicula en español favorita. Una obra maestra del cine latinoamericano, que demuestra que no se necesitan millones para una gran pelicula, sino un buen guion, direccion y actuaciones...

MCT:March 17, 2008I loved the remake so I'm not sure what to expect from this one. Even if I hate Diego Luna, John C Reilly is simply too good to be true.

When young con-artist Juan who plays in the little leagues is approached by master criminal Marcos to forge a partnership for the day, the pair end up with an expert forgery of the Nine Queens, a sheet of stamps that is worth a lot to collectors, and a unknowing buyer for them. However, despite being innovative, young Juan has a conscience and he isn't sure if he can trust his superior not to con him out of his share of money when everyone seems to be conning someone else. Will they get the money and will it all end smoothly? Well, if I told you that, it would ruin the ending! This time, rather than my usual Asian reviews, this film is Spanish and is definetely worth watching.

MCT:February 24, 2008Watching this movie was spoiled by the fact that I watched the American version ("Criminal") first. This version was much better than the American version, but knowing what was going to happen spoiled it a bit for me. While having flaws, the movie was well-crafted and well-acted. One flaw was that why would he tell the buyer who his sister is. At this point in the movie, it is true that he thought he would be selling the real stamps, but why would want someone to know how to trace him. And in fact, if he hadn't said that, what excuse would the buyer had that he would have some influence in convincing him to let his sister do the exchange... Anyway, still an enjoyable movie.

A wonderful stroll with two scam artists proving why there's no one else to trust in the deceitful concrete jungle. a film that will hold your breath till the last minute. superbly written, acted and staged.

anyon who saw the film ciminal, with john c riley should check this out, as this is the original which criminal is based, story cocerning a conman who witnsses another conman going about his business badly, so intervines when he gets caught, from this point he takes the guy under his wing, teaching him tricks and as hes setting up a big scam, wil invole him, as hes been left in te lurch by his partner, a great conman film from argentina the set up is great and simple to follow, certainly in my top ten conman flms, but whos scaming who and why, might keep you guessing, the two guys work well together, as there in every scene, and great direction as well, telling you how much crimial is similer to this i wont say, as it may spoil your enjoymnt of either one as, theres more to it than you think. im also fully recommending that fim as well, criminal is a very good remake, watch this then the other, its actually a good doube bill.

Argentinian director Fabián Bielinsky made two movies so far which are both fantastic. This is his first movie which is about the world of con. This is so original and enjoyable piece of cinema that you won't understand how the two hours have passed. There is a remake of it called "Criminal" which is exactly the same movie but with different actors and in english. Avoid the remake see the original, you won't regret.

Una trama salida de la cabeza de un genio. Actuaciones insuperables. Un final de muerte. Esta peli se pelea el primer puesto entre mis favoritas.

This movie is excellent. But please watch the Latin version. The American remake is not as good. Good Latin drama!

Clever little French flick about a couple of con-artists. Quite a classic approach, no special effects or camera work, but gets it right.

So good and original!!!!! It keeps you guessing every part of it and it just blows you away in the end!

Sounds fairly intriguing as a caper movie, although the title sounds far too much like "Three Kings".

I want to see this movie, but I don´t have many hopes that it is going to be good, I have never seen a movie from Argentina that is good, haha.

I don't know if I would call this a masterpiece but it was entertaining. I would not have guessed the ending and doubt you will either. Left one star off only because when I was forced to watch it a second time, I remembered it was actually my third time!
I have taken Criminal off my must see list. -

Masterpiece. Plain and simple. Compeling story with clever twists that'll make you suspect from every character and make your jaw drop. Gastón Pauls is great as young & naive Juan, but the movie belongs to Ricardo Darín; proving himself once again as one of the finest actors in Latin America. If you're looking for a con movie as good as "The Sting" look no further, this is a worthy heir.
P.S. Don't even bother watching "Matchstick Men" or "Criminal" ("Nine Queens" remake). -

Con artists continuosly looking for who to swindle next... and they are so good. Fast-paced action and suspense, this is a great movie.

comparisons don't typically make for good reviews but honestly, i think el aura is superior to this movie. i'm not saying that nueve reinas was bad tho, it's a great flick, darin pulls off another great performance but the plot is a lot more accessible and predictable at times. it's a shame that bielinski's gone, he was just starting to move towards insanely unique directions.

Nine Queens is fast paced and very cool(especially the cons they pull). THe first film in long while where I've been pulled in and sat ont herdge of my seat wondering what would happen next. Heaps of suspense and suspicion which leads to a great ending(though not surprising).
