Have you seen the twist coming? Or are you still looking for the queens? Share your thoughts on the greatest heist film ever made.

The Nine Queens is lean, mean, and perfectly crafted. At 114 minutes, not a second is wasted. It sits comfortably alongside The Sting and House of Games as one of the greatest con artist films ever made.

What sets The Nine Queens apart from Hollywood capers like Ocean’s Eleven is the setting. Buenos Aires is not just a backdrop; it is an active participant in the con. The city is depicted as a labyrinth of bureaucracy, decaying infrastructure, and opportunistic crime.
