Tropa de Elite 2: O Inimigo Agora é Outro (2010)
Way better than the first one
This movie is one of this movies, that talks about things that in fact are problem in parts of Brazil (speacially in Rio de Janeiro shantytowns). I must say there some scenes that really make you happy, as if the things were working on, and others scenes have tons of action and violence. Some of these violent ones are slightly disturbing.
However this is not a pulp fiction movie where everything you see is exaggerated senseless violence all the time, you see something that is close to the reality, the history of a man (that in fact really exists) trying to make the whole Brazilian scenario better.
Fighting corruption is no easy task, that's also something the movie relates to.
The changes of action and pace makes the movie really entertaining, in my option the best Brazilian movie of the last decade.
Really entertaining, slightly disturbing with a nice script.
Little Fish, Strange Pond (2009)
It was pretty good, but not a comedy at all
I must say I really liked that movie. I never watched it expecting to be a comedy thanks god, I watched in my cable TV first then I bought the DVD. The movie basically discuss about good and bad, right and wrong with some guys each of them representing one of the attributes. For instance I can say Jack is the "Evil" , Sweet Stephen is the chooser "the free will image" and the cop some neutral force. The storyline is very good, nice dialog especially, but NO WAY this is a comedy. The end leaves some sort of message that was pretty cool. Just don't buy this movie expecting to see Zach Galifianakis telling you jokes.
