City of God






























I might have fallen asleep a little...

2/5 Stars

No main actors.

This film is centered all around really young kids in gangs. The teenagers run this town and will shoot whomever they please to get what they want. It is emotional and graphic.

You don't sit down to enjoy this film, you sit down to learn from it. The question is, whether or not what you learn was worth seeing or learning. I personally could have done without.

Acting: Some great! Others just terrible.
Writing: Very believable and fluid.
Cinematography: Actually a high point to the film.
Story Line: Semi confusing and complicated. It was hard for me to keep all the names and places straight.

The reason it only got 2 stars is mainly because I just didn't enjoy it. I don't often enjoy these types of films. Strictly violent with no attachment. I mean, just look on the cover how many characters there are. Choose American Gangster above this.

Don't See It.
