CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Lucas Kenan Two RabbitsIts always a pleasure to watch a Brazilian movie whit the guts to do it differently, to show that the seventh art in the country of the football still has a great future ahead. Afonso Poyart surprises us whit a history of robbery corruption and back stabbing counted in a very Brazilian way, whit great strength and by the peaces that the main character Edgar (Fernando Alves Pinto) want us to know. The direction of the film make it quick and easy to watch despite the overflowing of characters and the complex scheme that Edgar plans. The direction of art takes the best in São Paulo to feature the history and the always present contrast of the wealth and the poverty present in the movie. But the velocity and plot twists of the film do not contribute to the understanding of the characters and their goals. Afonso give us an main character that show no remorse after murder a mother and her child and have a life of plenty and yet seek for more money. Julia who in the beginning of the film appears as a fragile woman who its getting to much involvement in the hard life of crime, becomes an femme fatale who plays her husband and ends like the motivation of Edgar plans and his lover who do anything for the love shared by them. Walter its a blur figure hidden behind the bear of Caco Ciocler who Afonso leverages of the common though that he hated Edgar, to make him one of the lasts peaces of the puzzle. After all, you can see that the development of characters that Afonso does, do not make theirs mind clear to the viewer, the director knowing that, he use it to make more plot twists. All this things show how this movie has an great argument that was not entirely passed to the script. Regardless of that mistakes we see a lot of courage in Afonso's movie and it make me thought of the people saying, in the time of the release of "The secret in their eyes", that the Brazilian movie makers do not had that courage, but now i know that they have, and they are showing it.
calneto This is another movie following the footsteps of "Cidade De Deus" and "Tropa De Elite", meaning that the main topic is the blatant corruption of our society in Brazil. The main difference this time is that we are no longer in the streets of Rio, but moved on to Brazil's largest city. Much of positive can be said of the movie. The editing and the special effects are superb. The opening sequence, with drawings mixed in the scenes is particularly clever without being over the top. The acting is also very good and uses mostly actors from São Paulo itself, which is not something trivial, if you keep in mind that the huge soap opera industry of Rio is the one usually providing star power for film productions (granted, some of the main characters are played by actors known to the public for soap opera work: Alessandra Negrini and Caco Ciocler to cite the best known faces). Having said this, I cannot turn a blind eye to the plot. It is true that it is very intricate and told in a fast involving pace, but almost every single detail does not survive a closer look. Virtually everyone is cheating on the spouse in a way that helps the big master plan of the main character. Petty thieves suddenly become mega criminals, with heavy artillery hidden in their shacks and do not bend under any kind of pressure. Perhaps the most absurd thing is the improbable alliance between a former professor and the guy who killed his wife and child, without any apparent reason. The director should have tamed his ego and hired a better screenwriter instead of having a go at everything. I hope that is what he does in his next work, given that his directing talent is not at check.
Welington Santos It's nice when we go to the the cinema with little or no expectations. Watching the trailer of "2 Coelhos", with many effects and explosions a la Hollywood, far from what we typically see in Brazilian films, we see the care in the production and editing of scenes and very little of plot of the movie.The trailer is well done, nothing spectacular or intriguing, but interesting enough to make us want to go to see this movie. I entered the room armed, waiting a sterile attempt to emulate the action films, empty and well packaged, I left the room surprised. In the end, the least caught my attention was the visual effects (there was nothing new) but the script, the editing and great performances.It is not easy to summarize the plot, it is very intricate and full of twists and turns, false clues, comings and goings. Because of the choppy editing and flash backs, sometimes it's difficult to locate in time and space, but in the end, we understand everything all (or almost everything). I think the film needs to be seen more than once. Afonso Poyart, memorize this name, is a talented boy. He wrote the script and came out with a Phantom camera (that records one thousand frames per second) and many ideas in his head.From the style of the film, it is clear that the idols of Poyart are Fernando Meirelles, Christopher Nolan, Guy Ritchie and Tarantino. But he has plenty of talent and personality to create a unique style. I imagine the guy more mature, far from the grip of cinematographic references, and with more financial resources.
