TACFEST III Review: In GUNMAN (GATILLERO), Gripping, Absorbing, Breathless.

Pablo “El Galgo” Correa (Sergio Podeley) is a hitman recently released from prison who finds himself embroiled in a series of misfortunes after accepting a minor job for his boss, unwittingly falling into a web of betrayals that will make him the prey of all the neighborhood’s thugs. This small Argentine production surprises with its excellent staging, taking the viewer through the streets of the oppressed Isla Maciel neighborhood, on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, under a relentless hail of bullets and betrayals that keep the audience on edge throughout the whole film. Cristian Tapian Marchiori creates an intense film through a single continuous shot in which we follow an anti-hero, as reprehensible as the thugs hunting him, around a relentless buildup of tension and emotions that culminates in a violent outcome that leaves the viewer completely breathless. Gunman (Gatillero in its original language) is a very remarkable work, a […]
