Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

markkbranson This film has great exterior shots of the American west and some really bad acting. The theme is OK--that coincidence may be more than just that. So what else is there to say?IF you have never been to the west or you want to recapture an experience, then you must see this film.So is this film fun: yes and no. If you can afford Mania's awful acting, then this film clearly is recommended for you!

monera-2 I'm from Portugal and i really wanted this movie to be good, to be proud of Portuguese cinema but...The movie has a lot of mistakes, like out of focus pictures (scene where mother and daughter talk on the roof) and the scene where the boy is talking with the old men on the car.The acting is mostly bad, except for the Mother which is REALLY REALLY, dreadful bad.The idea of the movie was good, but the bad plot, the catastrophic acting (have i mentioned how bad the mother's acting was?) and out of focus pictures just become unacceptable.There are far better movies in Portugal, we didn't needed to go to USA to make such a bad movie...If you want my advice watch real Portuguese movies and not this...

Outbound_MO I pretty much agree with everything Yarso86 said, with the exception that I was bored by the film when it wasn't even halfway done.By far the scenes between the mother and daughter are the worst. The actress who plays the mom is completely over the top, with utterly absurd reactions to everything the daughter says, and the lousy script doesn't help either. Their story is also the worst, with a completely absurd and pointless plot device that makes absolutely no sense at all. It reminds me of something akin to a Goosebumps or some Nickelodeon TV episode.Also, there's some voice over work in the beginning of the movie that makes me think that the post-production was done in Portugal and they couldn't find an American English native speaker so they got a Portuguese who does a fake American accent that just deteriorates as he reads his lines, which get progressively worst, using expressions that no American would use.To top it all off, the best actor in the whole film, Joaquim de Almeida, an actual international actor with serious work under his belt with some of Hollywood's biggest stars, only gets half a dozen lines of dialogue in the whole thing, mostly talking to himself, although in retrospect that makes sense because he would pretty much shame any of the other actors in this film who tried to be in the same scene as him.Image wise,like Yarso said, some of the footage has that very clean HD look, which becomes very camcorder like in some scenes, seriously clashing with the beautiful (and often overused) slow-motion shots.I'm giving it a really low rating because I honestly believe that what's already on here is over-inflated out of a misplaced sense of national pride.Again, like Yarso said, the director does actually show some promise, but he really needs to back away from script writing.

Márcio Carocho Resuming this movie into one word, inspiring.I am not a big fan of Portuguese movies although there are some exceptions, and therefore I thought this was just another one. When all the propaganda appeared, the main idea seemed quite intelligent. When I saw it, I was stunned.The acting is consistent and the characters are well constructed, bearing in mind that the main characters only have like one third of the whole movie. I think everyone that watches the movie can identify themselves with one of the characters. The photography is very well handled, and gives you scenes of cities, deserts, plane graveyards... Again, in one word breathtaking.The soundtrack is pretty decent, and plays an important role, being a constant during the whole movie.The supernatural events are not exaggerated, and although being important, I don't think they are a downfall in the movie, only a way of gathering the three stories.The script is the best part of this film. Inspiring, transmitting hope and most important of all remembering you to live your life to the fullest.Throughout the movie you tend to guess who is who and how are they related, but the final twist is mind blowing. He sacrificed his life for a stranger even without knowing, noble. Not a cliché finale, but one that keeps your mind revolving around the film even after the movie has finished for some hours.Congratulations to the Portuguese director, you have achieved a lot, and made us feel proud.The movie is well worth all the Euros I payed.
