Excellent dark humor made in Portugal

Menos 9 (Minus 9) is a very curious short film. Its original idea is excellent, because it relates, with a biting dark humor, the thoughts that every one of us already had (at least for one time in our lives) when somebody around is doing something that is deeply annoying us! Sometimes we get so angry that our wish would be kill that person right there, to solve the problem! Of course we all know that we just can't do such thing, but the characters of this movie don't

What is really funny about Menos 9 is to watch nine "witnesses" relating us their stories about the way they killed their victims as it was the most common thing on earth! They killed people because of the most trivial and ridiculous motives that can be imagined, but for them, it's fair!

The special value of this short film is demonstrate, in a humorist way, that Human Beings can be so mean, evil and selfish, doing cruel things just because of the most foolish motives.
