Watch The Portuguese Falcon For Free

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

This movie is one of the best, if not the best comedy ever made in the Portuguese language.The plot is a fun way to know about the Portuguese fascist dictatorship of Salazar and his new-state politics (Estado-Novo). The main character is Capitão Falção, a Portuguese soldier/super hero/patriot who struggles against communists (or how they call "Red menace") who tries to infiltrate his beloved country. As a super hero he has his own sidekick, Puto Perdiz.A Fun movie, with a lot of quotable sentences and jokes. Highly Recommended!

The movie sucks and sucks badly. From the acting to the story. Too Long and boring, didn't get a giggle out of me. Just keep away of this. Had high expectations and had a huge disappointment. The movie sums up to a bunch of clichés and dry humor, with forced acting caracteristic to Portuguese cinema. Rumors of sequel out there that I surely wont watch! This is the kind of movie you either like or hate, I'm on the hater field. Wonders me why you only see false praise to this mess. I just keep asking myself why I spent 25 eur on this! It's clear that I didn't like this and try as I may cant say anything positive about this. The end credits put an end to my misery. Hope never to see or hear from it again. Not much more I can say about this sad excuse of a comedy.

In order to represent the time of Portugal ruled by António de Oliveira Salazar, this film creates a heroic character who defends Portugal and Salazar at all costs with the help of Puto Perdiz. over the film is approached Portuguese habits, the Spanish civil war, PVED (Surveillance and State Defence Police), also known as "pip" and the existing hatred for the communists.Furthermore this film is a caricature to the State, all superhero movies, as well as the scenes of present actions ourselves.It's a movie of humor. A humor that not everyone likes! But for the who enjoy this type of humor, they will have an hour and a half lots fun!

Probably one of the best Portuguese films of the last decades. With subtle and delightful details, portrays of satirical and humorous forms a dictatorial era of Portugal. With a unique and politically incorrect style, the director manages to tell the story of a patriot hero, against the dangers of change.Of course, you can take political and partisan elations up to today, but I believe the motive is just the fun and comedy. No comparison, but with similar traits, I would venture to say that this film would be a Forrest Gump crossed with the Batman series of the 60's to tell a small part of the recent history of Portugal.
