Tenho a dizer que este filme é genial, do melhor que o cinema Português tem para oferecer!
Um retrato fiel da incessante luta solitária do mais famoso super-herói português e seu compincha sino-lusitano contra ninjas comunistas e socialistas apreciadores de cravos, flagelos em ascensão durante o regime fascista do Estado Novo. Altamente recomendado a historiadores e malta bem-disposta.
This is the best indie Portuguese movie I've ever seen. It's hard to find the file or even a theater playing this movie, but nevertheless, this film slaps. The criticism of the Salazar dictatorship is done perfectly by using dry humor.
Não é bom, não é mau, é simplesmente parvo.
