Review of City of Men (2007) by Raja N — 24 Apr 2010
It's just plain impossible to continue on the same level of success that City of God have received, but City of men follows the same tracks as his predecessor. This is about two adolescents about to turn 18 that are searching for the origin of their fathers and are caught in between a gang leader and his second who betrayed him to rule his Hill in Rio De Janeiro.
Problems evolve as the boys have strong family bonds linking them to the bosses, and the film will strongly ask how much could the power of friendship hold against emotional foes. This certainly isn't on the same par as Cidade de Deus, bass it's nonetheless a good film, and should definitely be watched in its language of origin for maximal satisfaction.
