last stop 174

Last Stop 174 or Ultima Parada 174 in the original Portuguese is a brazilian drama, similar to those we saw such as “Cidade de Deus” or “BOPE”, even share common actors with the latest. Nevertheless, Brazil seems to be filled with dramatical and real life stories as this one. Two kids from the fabelas, under the same name: one is separated from his mom while a baby and the other lost his mom on an armed robbery. Both will find themselves fighting for surviving in the brutal streets of Rio de Janeiro. Destiny will make the two youngsters meet and start “working” together on a bike, robbing other motorists waiting in street crossings until they both decide to split leaving the protagonist homeless. On a last shot, the kid will try to give it a last try by visiting his pseudo girlfriend or her almost mom, as every drama, you are expecting a fatal blow to arrive, and this one is no different. Score: 5.
