And look for the actors who play L'il Ze to wind up playing thugs in Hollywood soon. Both the little kid who plays him as a child and the freak who plays him as an adult are scary, crazy motherfuckers on screen. The adult version is like a low rent, coked-senseless version of Sam Jackson's Pulp Fiction hit man character.

Mr. dtb loved this movie. He's learning Portuguese, and wanted to see how much he could understand. He said it was like trying to understand those guys in Airplane! who speak Jive (and Barbara Billingsley helpfully arrives to translate for the stewardess), or Ebonics* for Portuenhos (I'm sure I've butchered that spelling.)
*As Chris Rock says about Ebonics -- "There's Ebonics, and there's the language you speak if you want to get a job."
