Police camp dark comedy
21 January 2023
Not everything works in this medium-length camp dark humor crime TV movie, and many jokes may be seen of bad taste, seeming to be written by a male teenager, but it made me laugh loud. Besides the gags involving lack of education (by rhe policemen), harsh periphery underworld (crime, prostitution, and so far), football culture in Rio de Janeiro, and dropping (deseases, sperm, fart...), there are also some jokes directed to Bolsonaro years, making references to illegal police/militia activities and to charismatic church involvement with scientific negationism towards clorochine usage. The spoof elements of horror and thrillers are nice. Corrupt police, involved in illegal activities, prejudice, disrespect for rule of law and human rights, is subject of many jokes, but it is a little ambiguous if it happens in a critical or relativising way. The macho ethos is mocked too, anyway, what is funny.
