Sinopsis(1)
Dos niños de las favelas de Río encuentran una cartera en el basurero donde buscan a diario, pero no se imaginan que este descubrimiento cambiará sus vidas para siempre. Cuando la policía local aparece para ofrecerles una generosa recompensa por la cartera, los dos chicos, Rafael (Rickson Tevez) y Gardo (Eduardo Luis), comprenden que han encontrado algo importante. Deciden recurrir a su amigo Rato (Gabriel Weinstein), y los tres se lanzan a una extraordinaria aventura para intentar quedarse con la cartera y descubrir el secreto que esconde. En el camino, deberán distinguir entre amigos y enemigos, juntar las piezas del rompecabezas para entender la historia de José Angelo (Wagner Moura), el dueño de la cartera, y aprender a no fiarse de la policía, especialmente del peligroso Federico (Selton Mello). Dos misioneros estadounidenses que trabajan en la favela, el decepcionado padre Julliard (Martin Sheen) y su joven asistente Olivia (Rooney Mara), quizá tengan la clave para encontrar la solución.

This film reflects quite nicely - I mean in terms of the credibility of the recording - how bad the situation is for some people in one of the largest cities in the world. Brazil isn't a great place to live for everyone. Unfortunately, this movie sometimes focuses too much on how poor everyone is that it can get annoying. But it's nice that it's gritty, action-packed, and still human.

An attractive environment and interesting premise make for a stylish film, which is not a bad thriller you enjoy seeing once, but ends up being quite forgettable.

I had to wonder if Stephen Daldry had any need to film such an uninteresting story, and in the style of Danny Boyle. He apparently did, but what surprised me even more (and I found out after the film) - the script was written by Richard Curtis. The film is of course professionally made in every aspect - direction, cinematography, music... But although at first I was really interested in what the story would turn out to be, from about the time of the prison visit to the end, I shook my head more and more and couldn't believe my eyes at what was happening. And I didn't like the final revolutionary call "When the people take to the streets one day" one bit.

While the ending isn’t too exceptionally moronic, it still can’t manage to overcome the quality of a scene like "Hi, I'm a hot young single Brazilian girl who just came out to dance in the streets. I see you're rummaging through the trash looking for food. You wanna hang out, ugly black boy?". Anyway, let me see those planet Pupulon photos again...
