Esse filme tava na minha watchlist há muito tempo, eu tinha lido o caso real pra ver e enrolei horrores! Muito triste o que aconteceu com o menino :(
E o doido foi eu descobrir que o mandante do crime foi preso em Saquarema aqui no Rio? wtf

Better than I expected it to be. Kidnapping a 15 year old over chump change is definitely upper middle class white gangster behavior.
The interview with the mom is so cringe to me.
