So Close to a 10

Rating: 9/10 (3 November 2012)

All I can say about this movie is you are in for a treat, this is a wild blood bath with a great story, and some fantastic acting. It has a rated R rating which is tough to believe, I would have thought easily NC-17 but nonetheless, the Academy Voters would never nominate a film like this for best film, which is unfortunate.
Although it did get nominated for Best Screenplay and Best Directing which it well deserved that at least. It's very well directed and written.
It's even crazier that this is based on a true story and that the characters portrayed in this film really existed. City of God is kind of like the Brazil version of Goodfellas, The Godfather and Heat. Hold on to your seat, you're in for a wild ride of a movie!
