Ponto de Inflexão

Unexpectedly very sweet and gentle film, well written, acted and directed. Both actors and characters are very good and likable.

The script is also quite funny and sad at the same time. Not a masterpiece but a very enjoyable watch. Apart from a little tear at the end.

Sometimes you meet someone and you know this is it. Not romantically speaking (no pun intended), though it may seem so at certain points of the story. Especially when it feels like one of the parties is showing jealousy and the other may not be as .. grateful as the other one thinks is necessary.

Trying to be as vague as possible, because I do not want to reveal anything - it is my credo after all. So this story of two individuals who are different, but hit it off from the moment they meet, is well told. It may get a bit too hectic for its own good towards the end ... and live too much on chance ... but hey, it is fun to watch overall, that cannot be disputed.

I did not know exactly what I was going to watch so.... I had no expectations.

Surprise, surprise!!! I liked it very much, different of all the movies I've watched lately, and that is A LOT !!! The two main characters are wonderful, human...after all. I recomend it from the bottom of my heart. We don't always have to watch a GREAT MOVIE, sometimes, simplicity is enough.... Give it a change....

Even if the story is very predictable, the actual acting and events development make it exciting to watch. If you enjoy kidnapping stories that take turnovers and twists, you are going to enjoy this movie. The ending is not difficult and may not appeal to the large audience who believes in fairy tales.

I have seen worst in new wave crime films and this one is a good surprise. An interesting psychological study of characters thru a crime scheme with mobsters. It is violent, sad, but cheap in the production design and directing too. Maybe a bit more ambition could have brought some more fresh blood, but the main thing is saved to keep interest from the audiences.
