Bloody Sensational, Painfully Fantastic

Rating: 10/10 (26 January 2003)

City of God is finally playing here in New York. I wanted to see this movie to see what's everybody is raving about. And I too had to keep going back to the theater because it was always sold out. Watching city of God felt like entering a haunted house. I wanted to close my eyes at some scenes but it was so good -- and engaging -- that I didn't. It's bloody sensational and painfully fantastic.
It should be a strong contender to win the Oscar for Best Foreign movie. This movie has something for everyone. Something you should watch and experience. Highly recommended.
