Story of Brazilian bank-robber Lúcio Flávio, who fascinated some people in Rio de Janeiro during the 1970s for his bold robberies and spectacular escapes, and also because he was thought to be intelligent and "politically aware". Before dying, he disclosed a network of corruption in Brazilian Police, and its involvement with the infamous "Death Squad" of the time, a group of policemen who went about killing criminals without giving them a fair trial.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a gripping narrative that contrasts the charismatic myth of a folk hero with the brutal reality of police brutality. It explores the mechanisms of legend-making and uses a criminal's story to expose deep systemic corruption.

What lingers after the credits is a profound unease about the cyclical nature of violence and the high cost of truth. This is a crime drama that serves as a sharp socio-political autopsy. — MovieFinder Editorial
