Directed by Maradona Dias Dos Santos, Chris Roland1h 46m2020
Two brothers — one a narcotics agent and the other a general — finally discover the identity of the drug lord who murdered their parents decades ago. They may kill each other before capturing the bad guys.
Our read: Santana (2020) reads as a sombre, breathless, grounded action entry — measured in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, measured in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
Sombre, breathless, measured action, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, measured.
