Carlos T @RT67858720 2d A história acompanha Cliff Garret, um policial determinado que se infiltra em uma poderosa organização criminosa. Após sofrer uma tentativa de assassinato e ser dado como morto, ele assume uma nova identidade: Danny Grogan, um assassino profissional que passa a trabalhar para o próprio grupo criminoso que ele deseja destruir. A infiltração se transforma em um jogo perigoso de confiança e sobrevivência. Quanto mais fundo ele entra no submundo do crime, mais difícil se torna manter sua verdadeira identidade escondida. 🧠 História e construção narrativa A ideia central do filme — um policial infiltrado no crime organizado — não é nova, mas sempre teve potencial dramático. exploram esse universo com grande intensidade. No caso de Hitman – Disfarce Perigoso, o roteiro segue um caminho mais simples e direto. A trama não se aprofunda tanto no conflito psicológico do protagonista, preferindo focar na ação e nos confrontos com criminosos. ⭐ Nota final: 5 / 10 See more Tasos L @TasosLe Mar 14 Enjoyable flick made by Chuck Norris' brother, Aaron. Darkier, gloomier and full of action and clever dialogues. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Apr 19 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, nem o chuck norris, a história é fraca, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e mais relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom.

See more David W @Sternhammer 10/18/2022 I'm obviously in the minority here but I regard this as one of Norris's best and definitely the best with his brother directing. An edgier movie than usual with Chuck playing a much darker kind of antihero. Ably assisted by a good supporting cast, I very much enjoyed my time with this. A good choice for a pizza and beer lads night action movie.
