Overview: Diego (Demian Salomon, Terrified, When Evil Lurks) is a crook and a hooligan for Racing Club, one of Argentina’s greatest soccer teams.

While sitting in his car in the middle of nowhere and participating in a quiz show about his beloved football team, a man suddenly falls from the sky and into his windshield.

When a tough as nails female secret agent (Moro Anghileri, On the Third Day) arrives to confront Diego and asks about the dangerous con man keeping a dark secret who happens to be kidnapped in the trunk of his car, all hell is about to break loose!

Blu-ray Verdict: In what is a captivating movie from start to finish, and one where I even had a repeat viewing of it a few days later as I had to show my friends and gauge their reactions also, Punto Rojo is beautifully rhythmic throughout.

Complete with some brilliant editing, ravishing action sequences and a musical soundtrack that is just to die for, the layered dark humor combined with the varying scenes of ultra violence, not forgetting some great writing, all these things come together to bring forth a movie where everyone who sees it can only just marvel in its phenomenally crafted creative juices.

Director, Writer and Editor Nicanor Loreti has always admitted to being a huge fan of Quentin Tarantino and it is just that kind of cinematic flavor that lovingly veins its way through this gung-ho action flick.

And, if I might also add, the film is highly reminiscent of work done by the brilliant Damián Szifron, who also is adept at bring from paper to the silver screen a dutiful cinematic mix of unforgettable characters and indelible story lines.
