Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This is one of the few films I can watch repeatedly without losing interest . It's violent, romantic, and unforgiving. The setting is surreal The characters stories are interwoven and they interact in a way that feels realistic. The stories also jumps back and forth in time. It's very complex but because it's edited so well It doesn't feel overwhelming. It's really an amazing film! Pay attention and enjoy.

To put it simply, the cinematography was meh, the editing was good meh, the narrative was alright meh and we shouldn't be licking Meirelles' balls and saying it's an "enlightening spectacle" just because it highlighted typically unreported-on foreign problems. That does not a good film make.But it's not bad.

As someone who loves movies (especially foreign movies) I thought this movie was well directed and well acted (especially when the actors were told to improvise sometimes). I remember watching this movie twice when I was ( and still am) interested in learning Brazilian Portuguese. It's a gritty tale yet one that still has hope. One thing I thought was a little weird was how some of the names were changed in the subtitles. All in all this movie stands the test of time.
