MY SOUL BROTHER (MI HERMANO DEL ALMA) Tribute to Americas Film Festival

A moral rollercoaster ride in the tradition of Double Indemnity and Jagged Edge Carlos can’t help being suspicious when his black-sheep brother Tony returns after an acrimonious breakup ten years earlier. But soon Carlos, a rising young insurance agent, is showing his brother the ropes-until on a business trip to Catalonia Tony springs the sinister trap he’s been laying. The three young leads are fine, but Juanjo Puigcorbe steals the film as the rapacious Tony, a sinning machine of awesome proportions. Tapping into the current rage of glossy thrillers, this slick story of sibling rivalry run amuck delivers a decidedly un-Hollywood denouement.-Eddie Cockrell
