Bang Bang

Rating: 9/10 (11 October 2003)

POSSIBLE TINY SPOILER ALERT when i first read about CITY OF GOD, Colin Kennedy of Empire magazine said it was more or less in the same class as GOODFELLAS. he isn't too far off. although unlike most reviewers i don't think the movie is great because it shows the harshness of the slum, i think it is brilliant because it is so damn entertaining. it has a tragic lining of course but the story, through its music and reasonably happy ending is rather upbeat. whatever you read or think about CITY OF GOD just watch it again and again and again. you'll thank yourself for it.
