The movie has some great things and some bad things. It has a great sense of humor and great performances by every single one of the actors. It also has a few short testimonies to understand how brutal were the dictatorship years in Argentina.
The movie has its moments, but it also lacks a lot. Some characters are under-developed: Main characters are the perfect heroes who can't do anything wrong and villains are represented as ridiculous, which doesn't feel right for a movie that's based on a true story.
Also some stories are not fully developed: some characters are forgotten in the middle of the movie and their stories end abruptly.
Finally, though not really important, it has a few historical mistakes when it comes to the penal process, and also a little joke that makes no sense in 1985.
I would not say this is a bad movie, but I would not say it's a great one either.
