Movie Info

The Brazilian Antonio Das Mortes casts Mauricio De Valle as a mercenary peacekeeper. Agreeing to hunt down and kill rebel soldiers, the mercenary becomes increasingly drawn to the rebel's cause. His 11th-hour turnaround does not prevent the film from ending in a bloodbath. Antonio das Mortes unabashedly casts its lot with such insurgents as Che Guevara. As such, this 1968 film had difficulty finding an American distributor until two years later. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Audience Reviews for O Dragão da Maldade contra o Santo Guerreiro (Antonio das Mortes)

There is virtually nothing in this film that hadn't been said before (and in a better way) in Rocha's most iconoclastic films, and it feels contrived, confusing, dull, and repetitious; a real endurance test for the viewer, even with so many evocative shots and mesmerizing tableaux.
