Rio de Janeiro, 1997. “Love me, love me, say that you love me” the Cardigans croon on the radio, but that’s of little comfort to the girl who’s listening. She’s being held hostage in a sleazy room and her captors demand ransom from her rich senator of a dad. She’s one of the 11 kidnappings that take place in the city every month. The anti-kidnapping division of the Brazilian police decides they’ve had it. It’s time for some serious action! Mendonça, an incorruptible but trigger-happy cop, takes charge of the notorious Division together with… the ever-corrupt Santiago ‘All Stars’, who’d rather extort criminals than arrest them. Their task is clear. Stop the kidnapping epidemic. (Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival)

How do you get justice in a country where police officers generally use the same practices as criminals? The Division is a rather raw film, which perhaps lacks emotion because of that. I was quite annoyed by the gentleman behind the camera, who was often unable to focus it properly. If only someone had tried to fix it with a more dynamic edit. I could do without those gratuitous slow-motion shots as well. I also have reservations about the length of the film. It could have been half an hour shorter because sometimes it loses its pace and seems too long. (45%)
