What a movie! The level of detail in each scene is impressive, such as the dialogues, the photography... High-level acting, with characters that are totally involved in the plot. Some things were left unexplained, but nothing that could compromise the movie's dynamics. And the overturn at the end is amazing.
Ricardo Darín's performance is flawless, he's definetely one of my favorite actors, and Gaston Pauls' performance was a great surprise.

Filme argentino muito bom, com uma história bem amarrada e ótimo elenco e atuações. Como em muitos outros filmes sobre golpistas, a todo momento você fica com um pé atrás com as ações dos personagens e imaginando o que é real e o que é pura farsa. Não dá pra confiar em ninguém! Achei o desfecho um pouco previsível, mas nada que comprometa o todo. Recomendo muito que fiquem atentos aos detalhes!

It's a wonderful movie with a wonderful actor. Darín has been one of my favorite movie stars for a while, ever since I watched the Oscar winner "El secreto de sus ojos". In "Nueve reinas", there are some loose ends, but it's still a very entertaining story that will tie you up all the way through it. The Argentinean cinema is awesome, and I definetely recommend it.

Argentinean movie about Con People, with Darin playing a professional Con Artist that gets an interest in a young guy starting on the “business”. Somewhere along the day an opportunity comes to sell some fake stamps for loads of pesos, to a Spanish millionaire. But what looked like a small heist, end up being a complicated deal with a lot of people involved. It’s up to us to discover, who is tricking who…
The movie gets us interested since the beginning with small cons that build up to the ending that might well be what we are not expecting. A bit comic at times, its definitely a good movie with good performances -
A nice little thriller. It was somewhat funny and a bit clever.
Eight out of ten, would watch again.

A fun script, well-paced, with two engaging leads that play well off one another, Nine Queens serves as one of the more enjoyable entries into the suspense-thriller canon of movies that make ample use of misdirection, keeping the surprises coming to the very end. The best thing about the film is its seeming joy in displaying such a wide variety of tricks--all through subtle word play and cleverly arranged circumstances.

Mi parte favorita es cuando el tipo toca todos los timbres del edificio hasta que una viejita caiga, muy entretenida e interesante. Marín me parece un excelente actor pero ¿es mi impresión o sale en todas las películas argentinas? ;)

This is a really good crime film from Argentina. A con is being pulled but on who? Maybe its one of the characters maybe it's the viewer. There are little clues dotted along the way before the resolution opens it all up.
The film was remade in the US as Criminal which is a long way from being as good as the original.
