Em Busca da Fama

Killing people and being a stupid psychotic beach is obviously good thing. Well done,!

My biggest recommendation I can give is if you are thinking of watching this movie go and watch Spree (2020) instead. That movie handles every subject in this movie 10% better. It's so much more satirical and bitting than this movie.

My biggest praise is the soundtrack at the beginning of the movie. The music department really understood the basic premise of the movie more than the actors or the filmmakers. It is full of "neon" dreamlike songs that really capture this youthful, whirlwind, runaway in the night fantasy. Now only if the movie captured that feeling.

The characters are really childlike and really directionless. This is also not helped by the acting. It is really cartoon like.

I did warm more towards the movie when Amber Riley appeared. It got a little better but I still wouldn't recommend it.

So the two main characters here are not Bonnie and Clyde. Do not try to compare them with that duo ... although I reckon it is impossible not to think about that pairing. Every movie that has a combination of a male and a female criminal on the run ... well you kind of have to think about that. Which is a testament to Bonnie and Clyde than anything else (whatever version you may prefer of them and whatever deviation that may include).

Bella Thorned ... I am inclined to believe she knows what effect she has on men (and some women and undecided individuals and whatever definition we still may get in the future). But she really has to play a crazy woman here and it is easy to not want to ... well follow her. There is criticism of social media and other things here, but it could have been build in a better more coherent way. As it is, I understand that some people have issues with the movie overall. Still it is a good movie. If you just sit back, relax and watch it for what it is. It does not hold back any punches, while it also lacks any individual we may find ... likeable! So it will be tough to root for anyone here ... unless your love for Bella is that strong you don't care for her despicable and insane character ...

1 out of 5 stars.

Infamous is one of the worst films about a young adult girl Arielle (Bella Thorne) who wants to escape her home town and become famous. She meets a guy Dean (Jake Manley) which he is out of prison and on parole. After an incident. She and him go on a robbery spree while posting on social media and getting many followers.

Like a bonnie and clyde idea with using social media to get people to like them. Even when body counts rises. However, these characters are so unlikable. Bella Thorne and Jake Manley did not help create an emotional connection with there characters. Bella facing her moms boyfriend who may or may not stolen her money. Jake having father issues. It was difficult to care for these characters.

The plot is dumb. The acting is horrible. Stupid dialogue. And a very boring ride with these characters that has a soundtrack that may be attracting to a younger female teen crowd.

I rather liked it, something to watch after a long day. Brain power not required.
