Good work with many technical problems. An extremely low budget and a movie created in a country without consistent cinema culture. Imagine how you would evaluate a movie shot in Europe or USA many many decades ago. That's it. It is really a good movie considering the resources that they had available.
When you make a movie, you need to understand that you're telling a story. So, dialogue and narrative are extremely important. With that said, this is by far the worst dialogue I've seen in the past few years; I'm Angolan and I couldn't finish watching this movie.
A movie can also be a portrayal of a society. This movie also failed at that. That is not how Angolan people talk, move or act. So, what is your movie trying to accomplish really?
Now, moving forward, look to Brazillians as an example. They focus on character development and story (City of God, Tropa de Elite, etc). Focus on THAT!

You will have a good timepass during this lockdown. This movie will not disappoint you. The movie is not worst at all. But I know you would be able yo watch antly movie during this pandemic coz. You won't have anything to pass your time. So, I wanna say this is a good movie to watch. And sorryy for not saying anything about this movie in this review, because I want everyone to watch this movie because this is not a bad movie. So finally Thank You for reading my review. Have a good day. May god bless you all who are reading my review and may you be blessed and and family may be blessed too. Take care all of you who are reading this review.
There is a good story being told, there are good actors, there is a good director! Obviously, the final work is not what is expected of a film that will be in Cannes or other fancy festivals! The movie delivers what is expected of a really very limited budget movie that took years to complete. It also must be analyzed from the perspective of the significance it has for the development of the country's film industry. It is not simple or easy to become a filmmaker and develop a movie in a poor and resourceless country! It's very funny when people with limited vision and precarious ability to analyze reality, watch an African film, built on a very low budget, and expect to find Hollywood quality! Lol! Last week, I watched a movie from Mozambique (Resgate). I hope netflix will make more African films available very soon. Go on guys
I'm Portuguese and so I was curious to see this first "action film made in Angola". It is evident that the film is not well written nor has anything extraordinarily positive, but we must not forget that Angola has almost no path in the film industry. I would consider it a pioneer and demonstrate an honest will to do something that reaches the public. By the way, unfortunately, we know that corruption rules this wonderful country in Africa and that if there is a truly honest police interested in arresting criminals, there will be a lot of work ahead of them. In the middle of the film, the minister says that "we cannot jeopardize the country's reputation", which turns out to be a comic speech.
Amateurism in many aspects of the film clearly compromises him but with a little effort we managed to reach the end, knowing that we are witnessing a historic work.

- GoofsAt the beginning of the film during the home invasion the little boy pushes one of the men and the man violently topples over. However, the boy is too small to have the strength to accomplish this. Additionally he did not push him that hard to begin with.
