Prosal Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I finally found the DVD of my fav brasilian movie, 'O Invasor' (aka The Tresspasser). Here's the trailer. " .... In this devastating thriller, businessmen Giba (Borges) and Ivan (Ricca) decide to do away with their partner by hiring hitman Anisio (Miklos).

Moving through Sao Paulo's whorehouses, bars, and clubs (the lengthy rave sequence is remarkable), Brant turns "The Trespasser" into a blistering political drama as Anisio tries to create his own gangster's paradise, working his way up from slum to suburbs with nothing more than his menacing presence. Foregrounding the clash between the ghetto and the corruption of the "respectable" world, "The Trespasser" is a fiery Latin time bomb, with an underlying political message that's summed up in the blistering lyrics of gangsta rapper/actor ....". Great movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
