7/10
A slow burn heist film
22 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Rodrigo Moreno's "Los delincuentes" is a slow burn bank robbery/heist film strengthened by its strong performances and stunning cinematography. With its three-hour runtime, it might be too much of an undertaking for average moviegoers. That being said, the runtime is certainly felt and should have been an hour shorter. The film ends by giving audiences three possible scenarios to think about of where the characters might have ended up. The ending is ambiguous and open to interpretation. Speaking of the thought-provoking ending, Ramon is a true friend. He literally waited more than three years for Moran to be released from prison. In the meantime, he could have easily taken the money and left his friend in a ditch. That is the definition of friendship. Also, I really loved how the filmmaker portrays Moran and Ramon's romantic relationship with Norma. Ramon and Norma have more of a fiery, passionate, and salacious relationship, while Moran and Norma connect through intellectually stimulating conversations.

Final verdict: 7.5/10.
