A fantastic view into the history of a fragile Brazilian democracy in the 1970s.

This film got me into Brazilian Rock. No joke the soundtrack is a who’s who of classic Brazilian rock. The camera work is amazing and watching the translators (still in frame) always makes me laugh.

A modern who-done-it movie, where you are trying to figure out who the murder or murders is, while you're watching the flick. It is fun to see this heartthrob in a horror film and there's plenty of funny kills to go around.
