Pixote belongs to a group of films about unwanted children who live on the streets due to poverty. Los Olividados (Mexico), Salaam Bombay (India) and Pixote (Brasil) are the most effective and brutal of this sub-genre. I'd also recommend Shoeshine (Italy) and the documentary Streetwise (USA).

Alexis Louder plays Valerie, a cop caught in the middle of two scums. She's got great screen presence (she's in between the two touch guys on the poster) and increased my enjoyment.…

The Harder They Fall 2021
The Good:
As always LaKeith Stanfield. He's one of my favorite actors and looks great in cowboy getup. His line deliveries during an excellent train sequence made me smile and pay attention. Overall the cast is stellar. I wish the film matched their presence.The Bad:
