My local multiplex, decided to run this film on one of the screens this past weekend. It was a 2009 Argentinian film [El secreto de sus ojos](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1305806/), translated "The Secret in Their Eyes. It won the Oscar for “best foreign language film” last year. It’s Spanish with English subtitles.

It’s a mystery/thriller with a love story underneath. Very well written and directed. If you get a chance to see it, I would highly recommend it. Although I did predict the ending about 2/3 through the movie.

The cinematography was awesome. The chase scene through the stadium was particularly outstanding.
