Justiça Brutal

I haven't stopped thinking about this film since I watched it randomly the other week on Netflix. I had skim read reviews on here prior and saw lots complaining about the length and how slow it was. However, I thought I'd make my own mind up. I found the pace really authentic. The character development was brilliant. At first I did find the constant unnatural one liner back and forth dialogue between the two protagonists forced. But it is forgotten by the brilliant storyline. This film really takes you on a trip, it'll make you feel all sorts of emotions which is what makes a good film in my opinion. This film turned out to be one of the best films I've seen in years. And it will be one I watch again. I think the issues with length and taking offense from the film are generational. And that's reflected in the reviews. Definitely.

I was surprised It was so well done. I am a movie connoisseur and highly recommend this movie to all who like cops and robbers movies. All are not bad they just have made some choices in life that others would have not. It was not what I expected.

No way near the negative reviews...something kept you hanging on to it and you get to know the characters.... interesting to also include 2 German known actors....liked it....unusual movie these days...and like someone said...it's a movie movie where you have to put time in it....enjoy...

I just read about how this didn't get a theatrical release because it was too long, these suits have no vision. So happy this director trusted his vision enough to not let it be butchered by the studio. I would have loved to see this in theaters.

I think the pacing was awesome. Some people are saying it was too slow but I think the time it took to get us more indepth with each character paid off. If you really enjoy a good film and don't need action packed explosions to keep your attention, you will really appreciate this film.

I am now a fan of this writer/director as I don't find many who get it right. Often these writer/director films go off kilter and don't have the right checks and balances. This guy should be given the steering wheel more often and trusted whole heartedly by the studios.

S. Craig Zahler films are a genre onto themselves. Much like Woody Allen or David Lynch movies. So keep that in mind.

Admitted, it's not one of his best, and about 30 mins too long, but it's an anti-hero story.

Characters like this exist in our world. Real life problems are a part of this movie too. Unfortunately, like life, theres not always a happy Hollywood ending.

I enjoyed this movie. Then again, I enjoy S. Craig Zahler's style of story telling
