A powerful sweat-strained swatch of Argentine neo-realism, "El Bonaerense," filmed in harsh high-contrast, follows the initiation of a naive police recruit (Jorge Roman), a former locksmith from a rural shanty town, into a labyrinth of sleaze. The movie is all the more disturbing for refusing to act like an expose. It just throws up its hands and says, this is the way it is.
