Now Playing Synopsis: Unhappily married Buenos Aires doctor Agustín (Viggo Mortensen) swaps identities with his terminally ill twin Pedro (also Mortensen), and gets caught up in his sibling's shady underworld dealings after venturing back to their childhood home in the Tigre Delta. Agustín has a great job, a gorgeous home, and a beautiful wife. But when his wife voices a desire to adopt a child, Agustín begins to feel trapped in a domesticated prison of his own making. He senses an opportunity to break free, however, when his twin brother Pedro turns up unannounced, and presents him with the opportunity to return to the simple life they once knew. But there's a catch -- Pedro isn't exactly what you'd call an honest man, and the moment Agustín takes his place, he also inherits the lingering conflicts that would haunt his brother to the grave. Soon, Agustín finds himself caught in an altogether different kind of trap -- one that Pedro may have been lucky to escape the way that he did. Soledad Villamil and Daniel Fanego co-star in this thriller from first-time writer/director Ana Piterbarg. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi Cast: Viggo Mortensen, Soledad Villamil, Daniel Fanego, Javier Godino, Sofía Gala Castaglione Movie Details Play Trailer

Now Playing Synopsis: Two priests dedicated to building a new hospital in a Buenos Aires shantytown find themselves caught in a violent war between rival drug lords that threatens devastating repercussions. Longtime friends Father Julián (Ricardo Darín) and Father Nicolás (Jérémie Renier) have dedicated their lives to helping the residents of Villa Maria, but lately an escalating feud between two criminal factions has made that goal impossible. Even worse, the corrupt police show no interest in halting the violence. Meanwhile, as Father Julián works tirelessly to ensure construction on Latin America's largest hospital doesn't grind to a halt, he is joined by Father Nicolás, still haunted after seeing members of his flock gunned down in the jungle by a paramilitary unit. That tragedy has resulted in a serious crisis of faith for the benevolent Father Nicolás, though the company of pretty atheist social worker Luciana helps to ease his troubled mind. Later, with tensions in the streets reaching a fever pitch, a ministerial decree halts construction on the hospital, setting the stage for a violent showdown between the slum-dwelling locals, and the corrupt authorities. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi Cast: Ricardo Darín, Jérémie Renier, Martina Gusman Movie Details Play Trailer
