What makes it different from others?
Sorry, this movie sucks
Dreadfully Boring
There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
This film is a pseudo documentary. While the basic story is correct, the guerrillas , including some of the ones interviewed for this film, have blood from innocent people murdered along the way, only because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. In this film this people are portrait as heroes. Having massive support from the population (which they did not have). It was a "Dirty War" in which one side had the power to deprive your your freedom, or worse kill you. On the other side most of the people in the guerrilla movement had very little regard for human life in the pursuit of their fight. Obviously is very popular to present so called documentaries on a one sided fashion, specially the one that suits radical juries. The director neglected to find an interview people whose relatives (not affiliated with any of the factions loss their life) There were no heroes on either side of the coin , except the noncombatants who tried to do their job for society at a time of extremism. For this reason, I give this movie a 7.
Based on a real story, Trelew gives an account of the amazing escape of the most important "guerrilleros" that were imprisoned in a remote jail in Argentina in 1972.The most important survivors of this "aventure", 30 years later, relate how the planned the flee, and how it was executed. Everything was perfect, however, at the end, there was a terrible misunderstanding and only a few leaders can take the plane to freedom. The others, who could not get flight, were cowardly executed.Although the story is fairly told, there are some moments in which the film turns to a too rosy picture of the "guerrilleros", exaggerating the support that they enjoyed from the common people. That is the reason why I refrained myself for giving a 9.
