Charming and brutal
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Weak, overlong and monotonous movie about Lampião, a Brazilian outlaw who spreads fear and violence in rural hinterlands in the 20 and 30's. The movie is innacurated with historical aspects of this almost legendary history characther and although the good cast the result is boring and disappointing. See "O Cangaceiro" (1953) instead of this one.
