This movie is a true expression of amateur filmography that we can see in every aspect of the picture.
From the actors that are all amateurs, to the technical staff which are well intentioned persons that curiously ended up making a movie.
The script is basic, and exploits the Portuguese stereotypes of the small time burglars, in a gang of four, with narrow minded plans taken to the extreme.
The story of a disbanded gang of four intriguing characters, that when their leader gets out of jail after a 5 year stretch, comes up with a brilliant plan, that will take them all to retire in Brasil, by robbing a gas station.
This fab four gang is made of a drug dealer – Rato, an unemployed guy that liked to steal from his boss – Culatra, a drunk and dope-head – Bino, and the leader of the pack, the man with all the solutions – Tone.
This is a relatively bad movie with poor quality but is worth seeing because it represents the willpower of a group of guys that really wanted to make a movie, with very little means.
It is another great example of "where there's a will there's a way".
Good on you guys. We need people like them in the Portuguese movies.
