While there are a number of reasons why the movie wasn’t more successful, director José Padilha attributes Hollywood interference for why making it was disappointing for him.
It made me realise that making a studio movie is not the same as making a film.
As for José Padilha, his next movie will be Entebbe, the dramatization of the 1976 Air France airliner hijacking.
While the new movie certainly looked more glossy than its predecessors, for many, it just didn’t have the same charm.
