Medida Provisória

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.

"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.

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.

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 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.
