Althought it is a quite well done film, I am still waiting for the promissed sequel showing the investigation and arrest of politics from different political parties. But this is never going to happen because like Lava Jato (car wash operation), this film was made by anonimous producers to demonize and destroy just the left parties of Brazil as if there werent right wing politicians involved in corruption (Aécio Neves, Michel Temer and now Flávio Bolsonaro, son of the actual president)

Movie producers wants money, ok, we got it. That's business. So, to make a film about a corruption investigation seems legit. Pitty that this movie is totally biased. Surely it helped in the current society polarization in Brazil. Hypocritical as it can get.

Best Brazilian Movie!!! Good actors. Good direction. Initially a money laundering investigation, it has expanded to cover allegations of corruption at the state-controlled oil company Petrobras, where executives allegedly accepted bribes in return for awarding contracts to construction firms at inflated prices. This criminal "system" is known as "Petrolão— Operation Car Wash"

This movie was funded by anonymous funders. Pure political propaganda... don´t wast your time.

The movie is, above all, an excellent police thriller. Well produced and have an excellent photography. In addition to these technical stuff, the story told elucidates the backstage of the world's largest anti-corruption operation. Operation Car Wash. In short, it's a good movie for those looking for a criminal investigation story, and also for those who want to know how this whole police operation started.

In the movie there is not a single politician described with compliments, so there's no meaning to classify the movie as a one sided politic. in fact, There's a real description of the politicians in Brazil nowadays: there are few reliable. The former president Lula has a main role in the movie because it is exactly what is happening in car wash operation (he is the first former president condemned by law in Brazilian history). The facts look like fiction but they are true, the history is amazing.

The film is extremely Manichaean. There is no middle ground: there are the good ones and there are the bad ones. The film shows an idyllic vision of the car-wash operation, without addressing controversial aspects of this operation, such as the selective disclosure of wiretapping carried out by the public prosecutor office and the federal police, wiretapping of conversations between attorneys and clients, and the protection of the Judge Moro to people and politicians linked to the PSDB political party.

Trash. Pure garbage made by unreliable people. A great waste of time.

If you wanna understand Brazil greatest campaign against corruption, you must watch this epic movie. It smells Oscar :-) I hope the members of Academy grant the Oscar of Best Motion Picture (yes, the top one) to this masterpiece. Heads up: Brazilian cinematographic industry is filled with communists. Be carefull reading the reviews/critics.

The film does not promote a healthy discussion about Brazilian politics, delivering a material that is so inconsistent with the public, based on untruths and full of bias, distorting reality to the point to turn judges and prosecutors into saviors of the homeland, when in fact, they come to practice irregularities, lawfares and abusive acts contrary to the law of this nation. All this to justify a mere political persecution, and in the end, they are even benefiting the real corrupt ones who took over the country.

Full of clichés and disconnected from the truth. It looks like a piece of propaganda to advertise the work of a group of burocrats. Just watch something else.

This films tells a history about a political party that tried to perpetuate in the power, and to install a left dictatorship in Latin America. Shows how Lula was a great liar, false, robber and leader of the political corruption. Shows the great work of the Federal Police. This was the greatest corruption case in history.

With the recent accusations above Moro and the prossecutors of the Car Wash Operation, every single fact shown in this movie is proven to be a lie. This is an utter mess, a sad piece of propaganda, that is going to rot even more when history reveals it's true villains. The good guys in this movie, are in real life incompetent judges and prosecutors that forgot that any trial should be unbiased. They are arresting someone not based on truth, but based on their political view.

It premiered on September 7, 2017, a civic date in Brazil, a movie that is going to be a shiver, because it deals with almost our present historical moment. Let's see how it all started, these movies are a waste of time, I want to see, it will be a civic moment, where we will see Brazil being discovered in all the political antics that have made us the current ones and by the balance of the actions of the last political leaders of the parents.

I have seen the FLAME REAL PLAN, which will tell our story from a little before and I was amazed to see how difficult it was to get out of a bad situation and improve. This is more recent, it will be exciting!

This movie is to understand the cleaning process that we had to go through. The movie worth highlights has great actors and was made with the accompaniment of the federal police, they are real facts indeed!

I hope everyone can go see this movie, which will play, I'm sure each one and see our story on the big screen is something that touches us deeply!

I have watched thousands of movies and this one must be the worst of them all.

On average, acting is awful, and since it was made exclusively to please those Brazilians who believe in "saviors of the homeland" (salvadores da pátria), it is very unilateral and therefore boring as hell.

Only for people who like cheap soap operas.

How intriguing that this was supposed to be a trilogy since the beginning, and "surprisingly" the next 2 sequences were "canceled"?!? That's how politics is involved and influences everything, and bury any kind of material that could make the citizens question the corrupted and broke system.

Excellent! Very good to see a quality film, with interesting content, well-assembled plot that holds us attention, after a line 'B' movies, pseudo art films that have been produced in Brazil, which please only an ideological minority. Operation Lava Jet is the hope of many Brazilians, the country lives high expectations of getting rid of systemic corruption. Judge Sérgio Moro, became a national hero.

In the early 90s Brazil introduced the Real Plan, which brought much needed financial and economic stability to the country. For the first time in decades Brazilians were able to make long-term plans, so essential to building a successful future. That story is told in the film "Real: O Plano Por Trás Da História" And now we have an even better film that shows the even more important change that is taking place in the country, by giving the people a sense of justice - that nobody is above the law. It is a process that is still evolving, hence the need to protect the individuals involved, and is encountering resistance from a PT appointed Supreme Court that is systematically releasing many of the corrupt politicians who have been convicted and sentenced to prison terms under the Car Wash Operation. Watch this film to understand this vital process in the development of a country that has all the ingredients to be a success on the world stage - bar this essential building block of rule of law. Let us hope and pray that the story will have a happy ending! The Brazilian people are counting on it and will hopefully vote accordingly in October.

People that trash-talk this movie for its content is in full denial of the history behind one of the largest operations against corruption in the history of mankind. Saying the movie spread lies contradicts with the situation we are currently experiencing in Brazil: a bankrupt Estate where nothing works properly and social programs are vote-grabbers during elections: if the politicians depicted were so autruistic people wouldn't die agonizing in some public hospitals because of the lack of pain killers while they buy luxury cars with public money.

Context aside, the movie is fast paced, so it helps if you have some basic knowleadge of the events it depicts, but its not entirely necessary. The actors did a good job and the camera work is top notch when compared to other Brazilian movies. Its a refreshing take on the current events since the media is so keen on hiding the truth, victimizing the actual villains and demonizing the police.

Were it fictional, could be a little better, but as i know, the Carwash Operation is not finished and probably will make no difference whatsoever because the power that lays on the hand of the evil. A very nice picture, though, to see how it really happened.
