Cristiano Z 7 Prisoners is a new important entry on Brazilian cinema. Among many uninspired comedies and badly written scripts Alexandre Moratto brings out a strong story about modern slavery. The movie is beautifully constructed and the story is told in a manner that you stay on the edge of your seat living the moral dilemmas of the main character. This thrill is not easy to produce, specially on Brazilian cinema where acting talent is not widely available as it is the case in other places. Moratto seem to have found this talent on Christian Malheiros. Their delivery is simple, effective and it makes up for great storytelling. This review would not be complete without mentioning Rodrigo Santoro. The arguably most famous Brazilian Actor of all time is on one of his best performances here. I concede that the role does not require extremes for the star of 300, however you just can't see an actor here. He impersonates the character so well that it is difficult to remember that it is Santoro there at times, we could just as well be seeing him on a documentary regarding these heart-wrenching issues. What a great and positive surprise it was! With all that said, great movie! Just a small distance behind other great Brazilian works such as City of God and Elite Squad. Well worth your time. Great storytelling, great acting and important heartbreaking themes. 8/10 easy! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/04/23 Full Review Audience Member It is the kind of film that shakes your soul.
