Grim Look At Reality

Rating: Null/10 (11 December 2004)

This film was more like a documentary about Rio. I do not understand how IMDb has given it a 8.7 out of 10. A subtitled film does not warrant this film a score as high as 8.7. To be more than fair I would give it a 5 for effort. A movie having subtitles seems to turn on viewers and make them give more credit than is rightfully due.
Average movie with insights to real life in shanty towns/favela's.
I was disappointed to be honest. The cast were not too great. Very short cameos so unable to gauge the actors abilities though acting was not really included in this film.
Film might appeal to those that have no exposure to how the other half live.
