since frame number 1 you know the good guy in the suit and necktie be doom he have no luck ( sorte nula ) and or so he believe with that music on the car radio and and the dubious talk by his best friend and company associate who be take him to part unknown through a desert road . alberto wish simply to be leave alone and to take a flight abroad next day and with well and someone be leave guessing . the film go a long way that will find short to a closing scene with the man hear the same music on a cab to the airport . in between and a number of lucky people have find different way out of the story and some dying and some be bear and others fall into harrow distress . this time he really doom or be he . the film be a sort of one man show by director fernando fragata who only leave the sound recording and the special effect to other and competent people . those who typically reject portuguese film due to sound problem and unclear speech recording and must go search for other topic to criticize this time . the car crash ( this isn not spoiler and the film be too clever for that ) make for a great scene and and apparently be do with cheap equipment . ( u studio take notice represent you may spare a dollar or two by hide competent portuguese director . ) the rest be do by fragata and from the script to the dialogue and from camera work to edit . if part of the dialogue be ad libbed and then he again must be congratulate for the acting direction and and the casting with mostly inexperienced actor . a large number of non speaking part be credit and but most of those people be use for the music video clip and the making of and use extensively in the film promotional trailer . the cast have a dozen actor and actress and of whom ten relevant person and and a huge number of relationship that be reveal step by step and in a thrilling and suspenseful way and reminiscent of the best genre author . alfred hitchcock ( qv ) and claude chabrol ( qv ) do come to mind and by the cat and mouse play between the director and his public and and the nature of his character . i recommend this thriller and comedy to portuguese language speaker and and if the film get to have a decent translation of it colloquial dialogue and to anyone abroad who enjoy those genre .
