When i saw this movie i thought "haters gonna hate"... But i like it.
It's a simple parody of the Robert Downey Jr/Jude Law movies. It doesn't try to be more than that.
There are some pieces of the old Zucker Abrahams Zucker parodies.
The actors are good enough (specially JCR), the story is funny and the sets are great.
Don't be reluctanct to watch the movie because of the reviews. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and i respect them all, but i thing that many people expected a "serious" and accurate movie and this is not the case.
I'm Portuguese and i speak reasonably well English. So i was able to watch this movie with no subtitles. Thanks God! The subtitling was awful, translating Portuguese to English. How can i resume this movie? Tropa de Elite meets Da Vinci Code? Weird no? No, nothing like that. This is an amazing picture of poverty, hope, friendship and trying to do the right thing, no matter what. It's hard to me to explain why i loved this movie. But i have no trouble to explain the main message: Brazil is a corrupt and dangerous country, not because of the common thieves, of the poor people, but because of the corrupt police and the rich and powerful people. A poor thief could steal a couple of bucks, a rich one could steal millions.
