I watched this movie by my father's recommendation, but I am not disappointed at all. First of all,this film show us in a great way, how the ''Comando Vermelho'', a big criminal gang from Rio de Janeiro, was formed and how the guys learned how to organize their criminals and teams. I think this movie will mark mainly brazillians, special the ones from Rio de Janeiro like myself, but this is not a reason why foreigners should not watch,specially if they liked ''Cidade de Deus''. Caco Ciocler already is considered a great actor,as well as Marieta Severo and Antônio Pompêo,but this movie have show me a new excellent actor: Flavio Bauraqui(who plays Jorginho in the 70's)
