Funny, ironic and action packed!
11 March 2002
This is definitely the best Portuguese film I've seen in a long, long time! Actually, I had already lost hope of watching an interesting Portuguese film. Needless to say, I was completely surprised by this one. Not only it tells us a thrilling story but it goes deeper by playing sarcastically with life and death. Imagine a suicidal man that wants nothing but to live! It's life's irony at its best! The lead actor's performance (newcomer Helder Mendes) is just superb. Amazingly, this is the first Portuguese action film ever made and a brilliant one it is! Thank you so much Fernando Fragata for bringing back to life, the art of making movies in Portugal!
