- TriviaAfter winning the Golden Globe for best non-English language film, fellow actor Peter Lanzani revealed that Ricardo Darin used his "lucky charm" for awards ceremonies and told the cast and crew to think, "Don't worry, we're not going to win, we have no chance, we're losers, be calm, we won't have to make a speech, we won't win."

Featured review
This was as near perfect as anyone could get - its a pity that we dont have such quality political-courtroom dramas in the English language. Inspired by true events - this keeps you on the edge of your seat for the entire length with no let up. Acting and plot delivered completely.
I had no idea that such events occurred in Argentina and this was an eye-opener - probably was not given that media attention as was warranted. The primary protagonist - the government prosecutor -performed his part with admirable authenticity.
Besides being hugely entertaining, this story - as cliched at it is - gives us a reminder as to the danger of power going to the heads of leaders.
