First act was cheap. Second act was excellent. Third act started boring then ended well.
Good production value for a brazilian movie. The story is already seen, punisher-like, but the main character is likable. Nice action. We don't have the unrealistic stuff like "1 vs 35" fights or people thinking guns are knife. The movie felt realistic.
Well done, give it a try.

Long:
I have followed this material from when it was just a internet adapted comic, it's awesome.
A little background from the third world that Brazil still is, we only make and invest in soap opera, with theatrical levels of acting, so you won't find Rodrigo Santoro's versatility and talent a lot in here. With that in mind, the acting in the critical participants of the film were convincent enough.
I enjoyed very much, if our brazillian movies were to be going in this direction, it would mean pure EVOLUTION, which is not true, we are only making political biased documentaries and the cheapest comedies using youtubers.
Short Considering the low capacity of our brazillian artistic enviroment, it's a great entertaiment and i would show to people without any issue
So yeah, it deserves my 8 stars

This movie shows much more than what is seen in the scenes.
First of all, that Brazilians can also make heores movies. It resembles The punisher. I guess there is some influence from other comics like Batman, the green arrow, death note.
I liked the filming, photography of the movie is pretty good. There is some mix of Sao Paulo and Rio, the night environment is really cool.

I was going to watch the movie open minded, since I like Brazilian movies as a Brazilian. Even considering that Brazil usually does not make good action movies.
The 5 stars I give is for some action scenes, some CGI (except the final scene) and the city, that is kind of mash-up of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Also, it have a nice urban atmosphere. I admit that the movie could take my attention all the time, but there are some things that distracted me and could not made the movie good.
The actors: they act like robots. And as a Brazilian, I can say that no one speaks like they... there is always a punch or a saying. Everything is just unnatural, and I think the worse part is the villains, that are so much caricature (why they laugh all the time? This isn't a cartoon).
The action scenes: there are some over-action scenes there. The main character is kinda overpower, but there is no justification for that. Also, the are some unnecessary parkour stunts (why jump with a backflip when you can just jump?). Some scenes are just good because of the post edition (camera cuts).
The mask: the way that the main character gets the mask is unnatural, or maybe stupid. How could he know about the red lights? It is terrible.
I could write about some other bad scenes and ideas, like the unnecessary length of the movie, but I will just say that it is watchable, specially if you are Brazilian. If not, maybe you won't like at all the movie.

It's not bad, rather enjoyable on the merits and quite good but not the apotheosis either. The special forces superhero who goes after corrupt elites after his daughter is murdered by enlisting the help of a young hacker. Here is a Brazilian film which mixes action and revolt against a system sclerotic by corruption and where the bad guys always come out winners. A feeling of approximation and watching a TV movie or an American series, the scenario would have been more dug and the photography and the staging too, but it's still passable.
