A cool movie

Finally a light comedy is produced in Portugal.The acting is good, the directing is good, u don't have an exceptional movie, but u have a light comedy, together with a taste of thriller/suspense script. Portuguese cinema needs more commercial movies, rather than producing always pseudo-intelectual film. If u want the Portuguese film industry to grow, u have to make more movies like this and like "A Mulher do Próximo", "Adão e Eva", "Zona J", "A Selva". I congractulate the director and producers for this film, all the actors and crew. Carry on!
