    Highly recommended

    This movie is highly recommended. Despite the broad issues such as "what happened in Bahia and other states" and the action of the United Nations, the movie focuses on a more restricted universe such as a neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, but this does not disqualify the work. The film is about the occupation of places by those who are denied a place. Highly recommended, don't waste time and watch it! Seu Jorge is magnificent and very funny. Note 9/10.

    Just a terrible experience. Waste of time.

    "I know what you're thinking ... 'this guy probably hated this film because of his political views". Well Consider this, what I would say in terms of this movie, if you were on a plane, and you had only this film available to watch, you might just enjoy spend your time looking at a empty air sickness bag, than spend one hour and a half watching this piece of ragged thriller.

    A courageous, wonderful, controversial, captivating film....

    "Do we realize when history is happening?" As absurd as it is real, some dialogues hurt the soul, exuding racism in such a natural and hateful way, the irony, Provisional Measure 1.888, the reparation would not be to return the whites to Europe, in exchange for the return of our gold, remembering that there is no pedigree among the so-called whites... There are so many layers, but if you analyze the speeches, however absurd they may be, they are exactly the same as those of the extreme right, politicians, lovers of dictatorship and fascism, comedians, in short, cattle... A courageous, wonderful, controversial, captivating film....

    In a dystopian future, an authoritarian Brazilian government orders all black citizens to move to the African continent as a way to make amends for the times of slavery, creating chaos, protests and a resistance movement in almost the entire nation.

    Horrible screenplay

    The idea is original but was very badly executed. Starting with a lousy screenplay - full of clichés and unnecessary lines - and a dreadful direction. What a waste!

    Powerful plot, poor achievement

    The movie "Executive Order" brings the strength of racial prejudice against black people during a visibly ultra-right-wing government in Brazil. The plot deals with a very important and current theme of racial segregation and the danger of a false political ideology about immigration. The major issues with the movie start with a naive and weak script, then go through the amateurish direction and culminate with the poor editing, which has cuts similar to those ones in Latin soap operas. It is sad to realize that the strength of the plot gets lost when mixed with comic scenes and childish dialogues.
