Anjos do Sol

Angels of the Sun has one major advantage, which is the strong theme of child trafficking and forced prostitution, but at the same time, one big problem. The average script and equally average direction result in the film resembling fictional documentaries that European television and American studios have churned out one after another in recent years. The actors are well chosen in terms of types, but they are again only average, with a few exceptions. Even though one might feel that by giving this film an average rating, they are endorsing the enslavement of poor children and all the vices attached to it, I cannot rate it any higher. Rudi Lagemann is simply an unremarkable director who made an unremarkable film. Overall impression: 55%. (06.11.2011)
