With pseudo elements of The Godfather, this motion picture is one of those movies that will hold on to you from beginning to end. In this tale of poverty, corruption, and death in the seedy underworld of one of the most beautiful countries on earth: Brazil. This tale is of a young man by the name of Rocket, and as the narrator he is reluctant to tell you every bit of this story. Tracing from his days as a young boy in the sixties to his days as a freelance photographer in the disco era of the 1970's all in the City Of God. But do not let the name fool you because in the City Of God you only find devils and demons. The story follows the tales of the most notorious gangsters, hoodlums, and family all somehow linked to each other. Any fans of the Drama Genre would enjoy this cinematic masterpiece.
