Franklin, Story of a Bill: Blood Money

The thriller in a world of marginality and lumpenage, with strong action and unique characters with little development: that’s really Franklin, history of a banknotethe feature debut of Lucas Vivo García Lagos, who has German Palaceyes Sofia Gala Castiglione Y Daniel Araoz as the main character and/or protagonist.

Because the other protagonist is the Franklin of the title, that is, the face of Benjamin J. Franklin found on the hundred-dollar bill. A paper that goes from one hand to the other, stained with blood, a fact that is unintentional in the plot, because the movie is a bit violent.

A boxer, who two years later would become a former boxer, his representative running from fights to prostitution and drug dealing, and a prostitute were the unified plot line. Correa (Palacios) was beaten at the start of the projection above a ring, and five years later he worked at Bernal. (Aráoz, as unpleasant and dirty as you can imagine).

But Correa went to jail for a murder, and when he was released, if the first thing he would do when he regained his freedom was to go to his boss, the second thing was to feel chills and dizziness in his body. Bernal gives him an assignment: he must remove Rosa (Castiglione), a prostitute who works for him, and has no other idea but to burn with iron a cop who was his former client.

Correa is not disgusted with anything, but she maintains a love affair with Rosa. So, this is understandable.

And it was evident that he had bet that one hundred dollar bill in the pool, to win a head and multiply it by seventy, to escape with Rosa.

Vertigo

The confusing nature of the situations means that the simplicity of the argument is much more hidden. The weight of the performances also plays in favor of the film, because of the three named we must add Luis Ziembrowski as someone who owes outstanding debt to Correa), Isabel Macedo, Luis Brandoni, Joaquín Ferreira. And until his debut as an interpreter L-Ghent.

Lucas Vivo García Lagos came from producing, writing and directing television series, and on his debut in the directory he handled everything as if he had a hot iron in his hand. That speed, that speed should not be mistaken for haste. The 80 minutes that Franklin lasted, the story of a ticket, flew by intensely.
