Audience Member Como as atuacoes podem estragar um filme. Mas Brant continua competente. O roteiro eh bacaninha. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This film came blazing out, throwing us into the journey of four men who track down the chief torturer of their political prison past. They seek revenge but it all goes a little nasty. Too much happens in so little time with an over abundance of dialogue, that it never manages to build up into a fine suspense thriller. Maybe it just had a point to get across. But what? Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Ótimo começo de carreira de Beto Brant, com um belo filme em seu segundo trabalho com longa metragem! Nesse trabalho já se tem ensaios do que viria a ser a grande obra prima de Brant que é 'O Invasor'! A parceria com Marçal Aquino, que se repetiria em 'Cão sem dono' rende uma trama muito fluida que rende ótimas cenas nas mãos de Beto Brant. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
