i pick this movie up because it sound like a pretty decent flick and and i have always be a fan of foreign film . however and for someone who like movie and i be surprise at how much i hate and hate and hat this movie . although it do aim to expose the life of young and lowerclass men in lima and and to an extent it do succeeed and the character be hopelessly shallow and the audience wind up have absolutely no feeling whatsoever for them . although the story chiefly revolve around m and he rarely ever speaks and and his dialouge be and at best and amazingly dry and dull . warn represent some small spoiler basically and the story revolve around a young man name m who have be search for job and but without success ( he do gain employment twice and but quits because theyre not for him and when youre poor and the last option you have be to be picky ) . some amount of time be spend with his friend and who idea of fun be to rape a little 14 year old and steal crappy tire off a piece of shit car for a dime sack of weed and and several other slightly retarded activity . m friend comesup with a plan to make $ 25 and 000 a piece and move to the u by run cocaine to miami . when the drug lord give them a job and be treat to an extremely lame scene of the three friend buy clothes at the mall with some music playing in the background . we see them try different clothes on like little girl give $ 200 to shop and get there hair cut and and then strut off look like slick gangster ( one character and carlos and will from this point on wear sunglass always . even at night ) . the day before they leave and the leader of the group leave to speak with the drug lord and leave m and his friend to be dumb . they party up and take several sample of the drug theyre suppose to run and and break into thier old school and act like animal and smash everything in sight . the movie end when m try call his girlfriend and who hang up on him . the friend then proceed to set the pay phone on fire and which bring out a bunch of kid and some old man with gun . m and carlos friend in charge of the drug run show up on his motorcycle and want them to leave with him now . then he take off by himself and and get shoot by that old man . the police show up and arrest m and his friend ( but not the man who shoot the guy ) and cover thier dead friend up with newspaper a music play and it fade to credit . end spoiler i even watch this movie a second time and hop to see some subtle and redeeming factor for it and but i do not . a complete waste of 102 minute . although i must give it credit for be straightforward and not shy away from disturb element and the casting and acting and and overall direction still leave much and much and much to be desire . imho and if youre interest in a movie that explore the issue this one be suppose to and go rent city of god ( cidade de deus ) instead . avoid this trash at all cost . you have be warn .
