Review of Kóblic

Kóblic (2016)
4/10
Predictable. Just a testimony of the "Death Flights" and the dictatorship.

1976. Andrés Kóblic, experienced pilot in the Argentinian air forces, is about to retire. But can no longer cope with flying planes used in the "flights of Death", where regime opposers are dropped down to the Atlantic. Kóblic seeks refuge in a small village, helping a friend of his father as a crop duster. We see in his nightmares what has happened. A phone call in a public place is the clue that he local sheriff uses to find out who the unusual foreigner is. Meanwhile, Kóblic and a local woman fall in love and a new danger sprouts: the brutal man who keeps her. Soon a military man shows up and gives Kóblik a new opportunity/ ultimatum. Kóblic puts on his old uniform and after leaving kills the corrupt sheriff. He has also tied the commandos sent to take him back by force. Now Kóblic flies straight into the ocean with his "captives". He jumps before the small airplane reaches the Atlantic; the parachute is supposed to land in a place where his lover waist for him. The psychology of the characters is quite shallow and predictable, without hues: just goodies and baddies.
