CGiii Comment

Where to start with this one? It's best not to start anywhere!

Read the blurb and if that doesn't put you off...watch the first 5 minutes and those few minutes will certainly do the trick. Tedium has never been filmed so tediously.

And...being a film by Gustavo Vinagre, expect debauchery...he himself gives into a fist. It's an eye-watering finale...and yet, it does nothing to relieve the monotony.

The less said, the better.
