I had great expectation. Since I heard about the production of this movie for the first time I had been waiting for it, and I was certain that it would be a remarkable one. Very unfortunately, as I wanted a lot it to be as good as it was important to be, I was wrong.

The general idea is brilliant, and the beginning seemed promising, as art direction is also great, one of the very best qualities of the film. As I love dystopias it made my expectation be high: in a dystopic Brazil in near future, the government enacts increasingly harsher racist laws and decrees against black people, wanting them to "go back" to Africa. A great story could have been shown with that interesting and ironical background.

The problem is that the film has ups and downs, including too many downs, and script is the worst of them. Characters are undeveloped, with no arc or with changes which are sudden and unconvincing. Acting is mostly good, as there are many great actors and actresses, but bad dialogues and a clumsy direction led to some very bad scenes too. Probably due the different ordering in which the scenes have been shot and inserted in the edition, there are some absurd inconsistencies in characters' mood, what is a Z-film problem.

Dialogues are mostly poor, with many cliché lines. Indeed, it seems that there was the intention to include in the script everything filmmaker considered important, and it was made without the care of having a coherent and fluid outcome. Additionally, too many side stories, some of them seeming promising, were abandoned, and the one centered in Antônio and André's resistance was not well built.

The parallel of two dramatic situations, one by the action of the state and the other by rebels, is absurd and even dangerous, reminding (certainly unintended, as this is not Lázaro Ramos's view) the speech of the cowards who supported military dictatorship in Brazil and state that "both sided exaggerated".

I may also add that, although police action in the film is brutal, it is still less violent and disrespectful for human rights than what is usual in Brazilian peripheries with majority black population. That is bizarre, as in a dystopia the problem should have been increased and not softened. Indeed, real-life poor black people would never behave among many armed cops without the fear of being murdered or tortured.

To resume, this was a missed opportunity, as Lázaro Ramos, one of the best Brazilian actors, had much more media and financing than usual in his debut as director.

I hope in a near future we may have a remake of this film, keeping the great central idea but being developed with a mature script and direction.

The movie "Executive Order" brings the strength of racial prejudice against black people during a visibly ultra-right-wing government in Brazil. The plot deals with a very important and current theme of racial segregation and the danger of a false political ideology about immigration. The major issues with the movie start with a naive and weak script, then go through the amateurish direction and culminate with the poor editing, which has cuts similar to those ones in Latin soap operas. It is sad to realize that the strength of the plot gets lost when mixed with comic scenes and childish dialogues.

Can we drop the whole "wokeness" accusations for a bit and really watch and pay attention about what the movie is really about?

That's not a premonition movie where the situation's bound to happen somewhere in the next years.

I feel like the film uses a way of showing the audience what it's like to be a minority living in a predominantly white country, but exaggerating the narrative so that everyone can understand.

The point is, we're all scared this situation is possible to happen at any time, depending on our government and population.

The only thing that made me sad was seeing the underacting of the actors, which were following the famous Theatre/strict to the script acting.

Alfred Enoch is such a good actor, and the only time we see him shine was at the end of the movie where he shows true emotions.

Besides the novel acting, I loved everything about the movie.

Cinematography, Script, Storytelling, Seu Jorge's performance were awesome.

The idea is original but was very badly executed. Starting with a lousy screenplay - full of clichés and unnecessary lines - and a dreadful direction. What a waste!

This movie is highly recommended. Despite the broad issues such as "what happened in Bahia and other states" and the action of the United Nations, the movie focuses on a more restricted universe such as a neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, but this does not disqualify the work. The film is about the occupation of places by those who are denied a place. Highly recommended, don't waste time and watch it! Seu Jorge is magnificent and very funny. Note 9/10.

The bad grade is for the accomplishment. Direction, editing, art, stage direction and audio do not follow the argument that well done would deliver an excellent film. YOUR GEORGE delivers his worst work with a childish character, visibly carelessly directed. The resistance environments have the freshness of samba schools at Carnival time and are not tense at any time.

Good...very ver good.

Sensitively and profoundly addresses the legal issues surrounding an intense racial drama. With a captivating screenplay and powerful performances, the movie prompts us to reflect on deep-rooted prejudices in society and the impact of the judicial system on the lives of marginalized individuals. With a courageous and realistic approach, 'Injust Justice' provokes a critical analysis of racial inequalities and the quest for a fairer and more egalitarian system. This relevant and impactful cinematic work invites us to reconsider social structures and the role of everyone in building a more inclusive world.

"Do we realize when history is happening?" As absurd as it is real, some dialogues hurt the soul, exuding racism in such a natural and hateful way, the irony, Provisional Measure 1.888, the reparation would not be to return the whites to Europe, in exchange for the return of our gold, remembering that there is no pedigree among the so-called whites... There are so many layers, but if you analyze the speeches, however absurd they may be, they are exactly the same as those of the extreme right, politicians, lovers of dictatorship and fascism, comedians, in short, cattle... A courageous, wonderful, controversial, captivating film....

In a dystopian future, an authoritarian Brazilian government orders all black citizens to move to the African continent as a way to make amends for the times of slavery, creating chaos, protests and a resistance movement in almost the entire nation.

I am a big fan of Lazaro Ramos, the actor. But Lazaro Ramos, the director just let me down. Poor argumentation, bad acting, disposable dialogues and scenes (like the sensual samba dancing while talking about a favorite song to be chosen), annoying characters (come on seu Jorge, have you seen this film before releasing it?). I just can't believe seu Jorge accepted a role like that, he is so badass. Some of the best names of Brazil cinema caught on a trap. Sad to see and give this kind of review because I love these people, storyline was really promising and some absurd situations really happens in Brazil.

"I know what you're thinking ... 'this guy probably hated this film because of his political views". Well Consider this, what I would say in terms of this movie, if you were on a plane, and you had only this film available to watch, you might just enjoy spend your time looking at a empty air sickness bag, than spend one hour and a half watching this piece of ragged thriller.

The movie could have been very well executed if there had been someone in the direction or script outside the PSOL party's line of thinking to provide a touch on some scenes that were so caricatured and awkward they made you feel secondhand embarrassment.

The problem with a script like this, which creates an exaggerated racist caricature of the far right, is that when it becomes overly caricatured, it ends up turning into a boomerang that hits the left in the face, making the author the target of their own critique.

This kind of movie reminds us how the brazilian left isolates itself in a bubble, even when making movies that could reach so many people from the periphery, all because there's a lack of communication with the people.
