"The tough ones" was the last one of a series of Finnish movies shown in some sort of festival arranged by the Finnish embassy in Argentina. These kinds of movies are unfortunately not so common here, but I was quite amazed by this festival, and this movie in particular. "The tough ones" has climbed in my favorite-movies-ever list to the top position. For some strange reason I feel identified with this movie. I won't tell anything here about the plot. The music and photography fit the story beautifully. Although there are a few violent scenes, I don't find it to be a violent movie (beware: many people *will* probably say it's a violent movie). The director managed perfectly to get you involved in the story and take to the "tought ones", and feel what they feel, their happiness and their sorrow. It was the first (and so far only) time that I left the cinema and really wanted to go in and watch it again. I wish more Finnish movies reached my country!
