What the film is trying to tell is not just the unscrupulous dirty work of some police officers, the realism is simply impossible to ignore. The mother and son of the bereaved mother and son in the film are Bruce's light, and he himself is the darkness. The contrast between light and darkness, the conflict between the world in the mirror and reality, and the subtle relationship between Claro and Bruce make the film more interesting with dark humor. But it's more than just comedy, it's jaw-droppingly realistic.
The coolest movie I've watched so far this year, it was originally aimed at the dirt, but it took away the heavy. A beautiful bastard played so charmingly that he couldn't help but get caught up in it.
Really liked the film's narrative and the way the ending was handled, Bruce was a game-playing jerk who took his own dirt.
