Every once in a while, you'll stumble upon a movie that tackles a harsh issue such as the reality of crime, drugs, and uncontrollable corruption in Rio de Janeirowith with such mind-boggling eloquence. Shot like a documentary, but cinematically on par, if not superior, with the frantic visual direction as seen in City of God, the movie can only be described as a violent masterpiece, balancing some of the best story-telling, acting, and emotional engagement I have experienced in a very long time. Highly recommended. 8.9/10.
