Inimigo Desconhecido: Enemy Unknown

I am a huge fan of movies like this, so i was excited to see what they did with this tribute, so the movie starts very well with the team of mercenaries set to go on a rescue mission, but then the creature starts killing them one by one, and that´s when the gore starts to appear, As for character development, it goes without saying that it's remarkably sparse but effective. The acting is well all around, considering that this is not a very dramatically demanding story for anybody. The script is precise, it doesn't force the cast to act stupid, or insults the intelligence of the audience; another reason why it works! The creature is amazing and would make Stan Winston proud to see that they did a real tribute to his original creature. Rui Constantino delivered an absolute gem with this one. The pacing is superb. A great film, one of a kind.

I didn't know what to expect from this movie, it seemed like an action in the jungle, guns and blaze...but was i wrong... As far as the story goes, it follows in the line of traditional survival horror tactics of having a large number of expendable characters and the big bad monster. A mildly amusing story is there for those who wish to indulge in some twists and turns, but it does the job of moving things along. Performances for the most part are well done, especially from Pinecross who seems to have put in a lot of work in his character, also didn´t know the director was the creature, until i saw his name in the credits, good for him, it turned out great. The background score works well to create tension. The violence and gore are believable very well done, great practical effects. This movie is proof that even with a low budget you can make incredible things.

8/10 .

Loved every minute into this, the story is not overly ambitious, they play it straight and the focus is given more to building tension, which it manages to do very well. The creature is really well done and they managed to put the alien hidden, until the last minute when finally he makes its appearance and it´s really great. It surprised me, it really did, i tought it would be something bad, but no... it´s that great, with very special weapons, the characters are interesting and all of them are well portrayed. Some are a little cliché, but the main character played by Pinecross is more human than a full action hero. It is above average for an action flick and screamed quality, despite a retentively low budget, and I definitely wouldn't mind to see it again.

The acting was solid as a rock, every scene just stood out and the movie kept you interested throughout its entirety. There was a nice amount of gore but, it was not overdone and I enjoyed that a lot. It draws you in. You start putting yourself in their shoes thinking "what would I do in that situation? How could you possibly overcome such a formidable enemy?" This really made all the difference for me anyway.

It´s an incredibly refreshing movie 9/10 for me.

A true pleasant surprise of a film, straight to the point and action packed The cast and performances are great as are the majority of the action sequences. Should have been about half an hour longer to flesh out the characters and maybe have a few more plot twists but as a straightforward, entertaining and visually appealing sci-fi actioner it works.
