You need more than guts to be a good gangster

A mesmerising crime epic which has the most realistic depiction of Gang warfare ever committed to film.
Astonishingly brutal and engrossing, City of God is sometimes difficult to watch; nevertheless, the intimate and revealing portrayal of life in the slums of Rio is daring and dynamic.
Pitch perfect (and kinetic) editing, coupled with acting so good, you can't help feel your watching a documentary, enhances one of the finest gangster movies ever.
Another amazing movie incredibly snubbed at the Oscars.
