| Ana de Armas: letal... |
1. WASP, REDE DE ESPIÕES (WASP
NETWORK, França, Brazil, Espanha, 2019) - Wasp Network is adapted from The
Last Soldiers of the Cold War: The Story of the Cuban Five, by Fernando Morais, and cleaves a little too closely to its
factual source material. It is an ambitious and busily journalistic affair,
meticulously researched and moving quickly to cover all the ground as
intertitles rush to inform us that it is now “four years earlier” or that we
are at the “Copacabana hotel”. The film is glossy, illuminating and frequently
exciting. What it lacks is an emotional charge and a fine-grained texture. We
need to invest in these people in order to understand their decisions – and
care about the consequences of these. Wagner Moura is not convincing
in the role. Ana de Armas (the only Cuban in the cast) makes beauty and talent
go together. Leonardo Sbaraglia has nothing to do in the story, unfortunately,
for he is one of the best actors in Argentina. Netflix.
