“A chronicle of a bus hijacking in Rio, Brazil so as the kid life. It occurred on June 12,2000. Just watched this movie here in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. It is about a poor boy (Sandro) who hijacks a bus and takes few hostages only in order to be famous and due heu0026#39;s high. So everyone must watch it. Itu0026#39;s a portrait about an unfortunate guy who didnu0026#39;t have another choice in life except being a thief. Otherwise, heu0026#39;d die. In other words, he didnu0026#39;t have a chance to live honestly. The movie has the usual and expected sad ending. Michel Gomes is the main actor who did a great work, besides some of other unknown actors. Maybe it could be a good lesson for those who intends to track a wrong way. As a matter of fact, Sandro had tried to have a better life but it seems destiny or fate did not allow him. In short, it happens nowadays in every country where poverty turns to a plague. Again: good direction and good actors. Iu0026#39;m sure an awarding is coming to this very film!”
