The Contestant

Attacking the avarice of banks is like criticizing a vulture for being hungry, but such is the thematic nut of "El Concursante". In his debut feature, writer-director Rodrigo Cortes fails to take the premise anywhere interesting, but the pic has a madcap, contempo energy that could find it offshore fans -- especially among younger auds who can find art in videoclips and identify with the spirit of rebellion.
