City of god is a foreign depiction of what is going on, One of my favorites!

Rating: 10/10 (8 August 2005)

this ghetto tale of two boys growing up in a suburb of rio de janeiro is a perfect film. The acting is 100% natural and looks as if these kids actually did grow up in that neighborhood (maybe they did, some directors like to use local regular people). The script was brilliantly written, it was a very entertaining film. There's not much more I can say other than that the director did a great, job, this film was always interesting, and the actors were great, the characters were very well written and this film blows many of the gangster type movies based in America out of the picture. 10/10 #45 on my list of all time favorite films.
