Science fiction thriller. People in a small Brazilian town discover that their village has vanished from online maps, their cell phone service is gone and a flying saucer shaped drone is hovering around the town.
Turns out American tourists are there to have fun hunting the people of the town.
One of them kills a child who was out in the dark with a flashlight, "WHICH I THOUGHT WAS A GUN," the killer says when one of them objects. He must have been a cop.
And you know how Americans are outraged at, say, Saddam Hussein because "He killed his OWN PEOPLE" as if it wouldn't have been a problem if he had been killing citizens of a different country? They do that in this movie, insisting that they're morally superior to the Brazilians working for them.
It's refreshing to see a movie that's this anti-American for once. There've been Hollywood movies that are critical of the United States, but they always cop out.
Available on the Criterion Channel.
