In a dark and decadent area of São Paulo, the exiled Americans Sinatra and his son Paul own a brothel. Paul is a compulsive gambler addicted to cocaine; his father is married to the former prostitute Angie, and they have a little son. When a client is killed by his wife in their establishment, they find a suitcase of drugs. In the night that they have scheduled a negotiation with African buyers, their African liaison dies while having sex with the travesty Nazda. Sinatra proposes to the Nigerian dishwasher of the brothel, Wemba, to travel to the harbor of Santos, complete the business with the drug dealers and in return he would receive a large amount. Wemba accepts but, while returning to his car in the harbor, he is attacked by two small-time thieves and passes out. His lack of contact with Sinatra and Paul leads to a sequence of misunderstandings with a tragic end.

| User ReviewDanielle CThis is a horrific thunderous watch,i have never seen brendan fraser is such a violent performance, this is a foreign movie so i don't think its been watch as much as is regular movies. but definitly worth the watch...beware it is gruesome and very macabre picture but dang its good. |
| User ReviewBrendan KHard down and out life cool cinematography |
| User ReviewJoe AMos def kills this role, great ending. lots of surprises |
| User ReviewF Bif you're looking to love Brendan Fraser in this -- you won't-- in fact i almost hated him after watching this... You actually want his dad to come out on top -- then the flip happens and you feel for Brendan's character. I have no idea what the people who hated it were watching -- it was a solid, yet dark, movie. |
| User ReviewJason JSensational! Great performances by everyone. Scott Glenn was great as I expected, but Brendan Fraser and Mos Def were surprisingly awesome. Mos Def is the master of subtlety in this film and Brendan Fraser was incredibly great especially since the last movies I saw him in were those mummy movies. Didn't know Fraser could be so dark. I love the camera work in the film, the acting was great, and I like the story of these characters, people who are trying to escape the ugliness in their lives. It's interesting to see how these characters respond to the circumstances that are put upon them. |
| User ReviewDana ALook at Brendan Fraser doing something called "acting." Who knew he actually posessed this talent. This was a very entertaining, interesting and stylish film. Short, yet well layered with great character arcs. Mos Def proves himself again to be a great actor as the film is well cast. This was a very original, with multiple twists, turns, where you have to pay attention to even the smallest character. Really didn't expect to like this as much as I did. It was attention grabbing right from the beginning. Simply a well executed film that should have been seen by more people. |
| User ReviewJess MAn interesting movie. A little dark, and as far as originality goes -- stringing together unrelated characters in this way is a bit overdone -- but overall, entertaining and memorable. |
| User ReviewJP AI really like this movie even though I caught it in the middle (second half perhaps) when the son and father are talking about Wemba and the money. I feel Brendan should do more roles like this and if at times his acting seems over the top it is because he is supposed to be a larger to life, full-of-himself character. However Mos Def stole the show...the cinematography too is very excellent. |
| User ReviewJon TFraser really comes through with a great performance and Mos Def never ceases to amaze me. He honestly has acting talent. Just a movie about a bad situation that keeps you edgy. |
