Heroic Losers (2019)

Revenge for the 2001 bank freeze, staged as a small-town heist. Neighbors in rural Buenos Aires province pool their savings to revive a local business, lose everything when the government freezes dollar accounts and a banker diverts their money, and then discover exactly where it is being kept. Adapted from an Eduardo Sacheri novel, it is a team-of-amateurs caper in which the planning goes wrong in entirely believable ways. Ricardo Darín and Luis Brandoni lead a cast of lovable losers, and the anger underneath gives the laughs some weight. It won the Goya for Best Ibero-American Film. Pair it with The Heist of the Century for a double bill of Argentine payback.
