This Is Not How You Start a Trilogy: “Hope” Gets a Nope From Me
Despite it being one of the most visually impressive action movies I’ve ever seen, everything else fell short of my expectations.
The Nun and the Torture
Chief of Police Rui, a happily married man of principles, is in charge of investigating Joana, a teacher who's accused of political crimes. After some false starts, he manages to arrest her, but is startled to learn that she's also a nun. The revelation doesn't alter the natural course of events: he must torture her in order to obtain a confession, and gets increasingly attracted to her.
