About
You might enjoy this if you like offbeat crime dramas mixed with romance and dance, especially if Chéri appeals to you; Not for you if you want a tight, action-heavy thriller or a full-on tango movie.
Pros: atmospheric Argentina setting; strong lead presence; memorable tango scenes | Cons: slow pacing; uneven crime story; less tango than expected
