Perro Come Perro (Dog Eat Dog)

Columbia's entry for the 2008 Academy Awards won several awards from Latin American film festivals and were nominated for more from some north of the border, including Sundance.

The acting is first rate and the music is perfect. The story moves a little slow, but has a very interesting point for the patient. It is billed as a thriller, but I suggest it is more of a crime drama.

Bad guys steal from other bad guys and they do bad things to each other in the process.
Bottom line, everyone loses in this slice-of-life crime story.

Entirely in Spanish with subtitles, here is another movie worth reading.

Watch this movie with someone who either speaks very common Spanish or will not mind the subtitles and the weird, freaky, black magic bits.
