What critics compared Nine Queens to
For my money, the pinnacle of the genre is Fabián Bielinsky’s 2000 Nine Queens , which follows a pair of low-level confidence tricksters trapped in a spiralling, high-stakes con.
The sleekly vulpine Ricardo Darin (“Nine Queens,” “The Aura”) stars as Esposito, a federal agent in Buenos Aires now retired.
The highly acclaimed Argentinean actor Ricardo Darín (Nine Queens, The Dancer and the Thief) portrays Espósito beautifully as a man who is inspired by the love of the victim’s husband to pursue the brutal case he has been handed but at the same time cannot act on his own feelings for his former colleague and now boss.
