City of God (DVD, 2004)

Impact laden and great quality!

The film is an in depth look into the people of Rio De Janeiro, specifically the slums (favelas). It is great for the cast were unknowns and it was produced and directed by Fernando Mieralles, whom had made commercials. City of God (Cidade de Deus) I attest is in my personal list of 'top ten' movies of all times! It is compelling and very expressive. Plus, it's a great way to learn Portuguese.Read full review

Unreadable disc

Now. I’ll start out by stating that I tried this on several devices and it was unable to be read on any of them.

However the disc quality doesn’t look scratched up enough to not be read. So I understand why this particular disc was put up for sale.

Regardless, I purchased a film I cannot watch. Read full review

Fabulous entertainment!

This is a magnificent film! The fact that it is a true story is utterly amazing. The actors all deserve awards, especially the children! I've watched it several times when it was on cable. I decided I just had to buy it so I could watch it whenever. This was a great value!!Read full review

English subtilted

I didn't expect the movie to be in Spanish and subtitled in English. Had I known this in advance I would not have purchased the movie. The story line and the actors are great it's just that having to read the lines take so much away from the movie.Read full review

This is one of the best films I have ever seen. It puts life in other countries in perspective and keeps you entertained from beginning to end. Do yourself a favor and watch this movie.

South American epic

The remarkable thing about this movie is portrayal of arrogance without the flash of Hollywood. It is a defining portrayal of crime and poverty in a heavily urban foreign area.
