Some comments

Rating: 8/10 (24 July 2010)

I really liked the movie and I think all the positive things about it are said in the reviews below, but I just couldn't resist adding some criticism to it.
-The gang war in City of God gives the feeling that it's a war between the two biggest gangs in the whole city, and that the winner will own the entire city, or at least I had that impression while watching the movie. Fact is that it's just a very small part of the huge city, and situations in other parts of the city can be totally different.
-I think the movie was too much based on action, which didn't always added something useful to the story of the movie.
Please, let it be clear that I adored watching Cidade de Deus, but it's not worth 10 out of 10 points.
