A true story beyond Shakespearian tragedy...

Rating: 10/10 (16 September 2006)

Turns out it was a true story. I would not have known until the last few seconds of the film.
The movie is not a thriller, meaning it has the excitement without having all the corny comicbook lines. Its not a drama, meaning 1)you don't cry over it, 2)its real. Its definitely not a comedy, anyone who laughs their ass off watching this is definitely a jerk. It is a tragedy that people don't cry over, about the lives of everyone eventually caught up in an all-out gang war in the city of god.
No this is not overrated, people who don't like it are usually jerks. (Go watch corny thrillers you jerks!)
