Summary: City of Men review by Brandon
Comment: I've had this movie for almost 4 months and still haven't watched it. But I'm a big movie guy and if you like City of God, I know you'll like this movie.

Summary: Not in the same league as City of God
Comment: I saw (and loved) City of God. What a film!! Great story, awesomely brought to the big screen. Well, this film is not nearly of the same caliber. The pacing is poor, story somewhat clumsily rendered, and all the action takes place right near the end! I cannot give a thumbs up to this film, perhaps if Mierelles had directed rather than executive produced, things might have turned out a whole lot better!

Summary: A great follow-up to the TV program
Comment: I had seen the 19-episode TV series on DVD, and I had been awaiting the movie since it was filmed in 2006.
I received the movie on DVD on July 1. I really liked the movie because it stayed true to the TV show ( mostly ) and also because it finally touched on a subject that many whom are familiar with the TV series had been wondering about: the estranged fathers of the boys.
There's not much I can say here without spoiling it. But rest assured that this movie ( preceded by watching the TV series ) is something that you will want to see.

Summary: Don't visit Brazil !
Comment: This movie is like a promotional film on why you don't ever want to visit Brazil. Teenagers with machine guns.

Summary: Don't visit Brazil !
Comment: This movie is like a promotional film on why you don't ever want to visit Brazil. Teenagers with machine guns.
Paulo Morelli's film is a pacy, bloody thriller that pays warm tribute to a diverse cross-section of American directors including Quentin Tarantino and Michael Bay. Bullets zing across the screen, heavy artillery is deployed at all times, and Morelli makes great use of the twisty favela streets during some frantic chase sequence. Silva and Cunha, who both had roles in CITY OF GOD, carry the picture with impressive ease, and while CITY OF MEN isn't an official sequel to Meirelles's lauded picture, it does serve as a neat continuation of that film's unshakable portrayal of the violence that has beset so many young lives in the slums of Rio de Janeiro.
