Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (31 March 2010)

This movie is now #17 on Imdbs all time list of greatest movies, and deservedly so. It is a realistic and gripping view of gang activity in Brazils, Rio De Janero. The realism is brought out by the amazing performances of the authentic and unknown actors.
The movie is based on the true story of gang activity in the slums of Rio De Janero. The story follows the main character Rocket as he struggles to get away from the violence and drug activity of the slums he lives in. He tries to use his love of photography as a way to achieve a life away from the slums.
If you are a fan of foreign movies or movies on gangs and crime, this is a movie you can not pass up.
