Glorreiche Verlierer

La Odisea de los Giles is based on the novel "La Noche de la Usina" written by Eduardo Sacheri. The same writer who wrote the novel that inspired to make the Oscar winning film "The Secret in their Eyes".

I loved so much the book and I thought the movie would be a gem. But not. I understand that some things from the book are not possible to transport to the language of cinema. Still, there were some details of the book that were missing and could have made the movie a little bit more better, more with surprising moments.

I had the feeling that Ricardo Darín played as Darín. Boring. I couldn't believe his character of an ex fultball player (Perlassi). On the book I could feel so much the spirit of Perlassi. I could imagine what he was wearing, what he was thinking, even if it was not written on the book.

I honestly believe that Leonardo Sbaraglia could have been a better cast for the role.

If you read the book don't expect so much. If you didn't read the book, then is a nice film for a Sunday afternoon. Thanks.
