one the best foreign films I've ever seen

Rating: 9/10 (29 April 2006)

This is one of my favourite films of all time. The reason being is that as soon as I finished watching the film, I was compelled to watch it again straight after(the only film to have made me do this was The Usual suspects). It's very fast paced and it really sucks you in to the characters and their situations. The film gives the viewer a real insight in to what happens in this city and how life really is for it's inhabitants.
You do empathise with the characters which is surprising considering how they live their lives, but I suppose that's the beauty of this film; it made me like this notorious characters, turning them in to anti-heros I suppose!
I would recommend this film to everyone and anyone, but unfortunately there are still people out there who can't watch a film with subtitles, but thats their loss.
