(MU) Before 'Pixote'; Babenco was already in form, with this straight criminal drama, not enfasized in violence or style, cool approach to a gangster negotiating and being treasoned by his police partners...

(BluR) Shozofrenia is exhausting, firts part in great, thr anguish in in spectauclar cotidianeity, in the streem in the apartment; hallucinations pop up from the neighbourhood and over the bathtub (wonderul detail the man falling down to the tub); but, then, a extremly long display of hhalucinastiosn and dream over the stage...

(OK) So powerfull, in script, acting (Brustyn, Sydow, Conn and Karras and even McGowran as a drunken intellectual), rich in detail and even digressions, with a strange prologue, but such an effective topic that Friedkin coul add what he wanted...

(MU) A pesar de la desmesura (empieza con un idiot plot luego de que Maura baja las escaleras en guiño a Cary e Ingrid en "Notorious") , el homenaje a Hitch (desde los créditos a lo Saul Bass con música a lo Herrman) , con colores de Madrid almodovariano, y un grand finale madrileño, vale todo....y el plus de la comunidad de vecinos y del gordito Drath Vader, bestia de ternura, vamos...

(MU) The director's cut maybe soften's the excesses of origin. But excesses are redeemed in tender fantasy Walter Mitty'esque tone....

(MU) This deserves to be a culti film, kind of juvenile deliberate killer "Stepford wives" with big black humour politicall incorrect touches (policemen believing a man is gay becuase his boy is founf with a bottle of water and not a bear!)....good mathc Wyno na and Slater

(OK) Serious, heavy, a bit of Citizen Kane research of a dead great man's truth, with a WW2 twist at the end. Hepburn, Tracy and Cukor made all this credible...

(MU) A cult film just because The Clash not only play but acts in it. Bad for them, they are too lefty for the main irresponsible character and too classic for the punk feeling...
