One thing I don't get it...what special agent goes to battle without a bulletproof vest?
The movie itself feels rushed during some important plot points, the story is a bit thin and you have to be very forgiving sometimes, but HEY! This is meant to be fantasy. Given the budget they had I think this movie really did it. I enjoyed it and I hope the TV series succeeds too.
Having a web comic become HQ, movie and tv series would be a first in Brazil, and I think we have demand for much more.
Cheers!

The Awakener is a Brazilian movie about a special agent that goes rogue after his daughter dies because of Brazil's poor public health care system; so he starts doing justice with his own hands towards those he deems responsible for his and all Brazilians' suffering. It's based on a Brazilian comic book with the same name.
Its "The Punisher"-ish elements can be seen throughout the movie; the main character is full of sorrow and crazy about revenge, so mad that he starts crossing the line of what's even right to do. He blames the system and he wants to shut it down.
It's good entertainment. Take it as Brazilian's antihero plot approach. Although, it kinda suffers from some Brazilian robotic acting. Sometimes, some swearing seems unnatural, specially when they are saying the words way too well, as if they are reading a formal book; but that doesn't happen too often.
Overall, a good underground antihero. soon to be forgotten.

First act was cheap. Second act was excellent. Third act started boring then ended well.
Good production value for a brazilian movie. The story is already seen, punisher-like, but the main character is likable. Nice action. We don't have the unrealistic stuff like "1 vs 35" fights or people thinking guns are knife. The movie felt realistic.
Well done, give it a try.

That's really brave and unespected...worth it. Adaptation role from Brazilian HQ. For the very first, sounds really good.
