This movie is brilliant, but, as one reviewer states it is like the movie "Mud", however, I don't agree. It is nothing like that movie except that it is set on the river. Viggo, playing both Pedro and Augustine is very believable, and gives a stellar performance, as usual. This movie is one of the best foreign films I have seen this year, the filming is fantastic, the supporting cast are very believable and do better than average for this genre. The story is about 3 men, two of which are twin brothers who grew up with a third boy, they all got into mischief together, but Pedro, one of the brothers was more daring than his brother Augustine, and got into more trouble with their friend, in fact they did crime together, while Augustine was busy living a relatively safe life with a wife and regular job, but was very unhappy in that role. Pedro, visits his brother and tells him he is sick, among other things, which gives Augustine the perfect opportunity to change his life....it gets extremely interesting from here on in....how Viggo plays Augustine, acting like his brother Pedro, and pulling it off in front of his childhood friend, his wife and the girl he has a tentative relationship with....he is nothing but brilliant in this movie.
