Our take
In a future Rio, a deadly parkour competition decides fates in this Portuguese-language Prime Video action film. Dialogue includes frequent f-words, bloodshed, monster metaphors, gambling talk, whisky references and suicidal strategy banter. Dystopian violence and anti-rich rebellion themes are intense. Treat as mature teen and adult viewing despite limited US certification.
