Sport
movies are basically very pathetic. Story of success from the gutter is a specially
fertile ground for too sweet of emotions. Or it should be like that. When you
watch Venezuelan ”Hermano” this will surely not be the case.
Backdrop
is pretty much the usual one. Two brothers make their way from the bottom of
favela lowest soccer league to the jersey of glorified FC Caracas. All the
temptations are there along the way: crime, drugs, violence, temptatious women
with some serious family tragedy as well.
”Hermano”
will follow that well paved path all the way to the last scene. That last scene
is what makes this movie excellent with its horrific twist. That last scene is
the thing that you just don’t expect.
Without
any doubt, ”Hermano” is one of the best ”sport” movies ever made.
HERMANO - 9/10
