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.

Fast paced dialog but with a much deeper exploration of the relationships and father/son relationship of two friends. The film is a richly drawn look into the world of Rio's gans and the continuity of human foibles/flaws across generations. 4 rather than 5 stars ony because the production value and continuity of plot seems a bit disjointed at times with some key points brushed over a bit too quickly.

To City of men. I love the series and these movies. To me, some of the best movies are subtitled. I kinda wish for a English audio but that would probably make the movie look cheesy, as with all subtitled films.

This was a great finish to a wonderful story. Watch the show before this movie it helps.
