You really should pal. Absolutely top notch. Best filum I've seen in quite a while. Lots of gratuitous gore and violence - Jean Reno doing what he does best :)

 

Note: It is ALL in French - I know some folk are funny when it comes to foreign films, but personally I don't even realise I'm reading after the first couple of minutes.

I really enjoyed City of God. Very violent scenes throughout. Pulled of showing reality in a shanty town brilliantly.

Seen it mate. Agreed, belting.

 

I've had City of Men ready to watch for a while too, just not got round to that one yet. Is it a related/direct follow-up or is it just a similar sort of film?

from what I've just read its a follow from when a couple of the guys are 18, i'll give them both what Miami said a watch

city of men is a mini series,when some of the characters are older,36 million watched it in brazil,so the figures speak for themselves.

 

elite squad is about a special unit whose task is to bring down the drug dealers in the favelas.

a further follow up to elite squad has been released. i watched it the other week,even better than the first.

 

majority of it is true and some of the cast were former dealers,gang members etc in the favelas.

the extras are well worth watching first IMO to get a real feel for the story

excellent viewing

don't know if it's been mentioned before but french thriller 'tell no one' is an absolute classic.

 

a doctor's wife was killed 8 years ago,but suddenly reappears and sends her husband an email

Cidade dos Homens was adapted to a film as well. Follow up from Cidade de Dues. Not as good but still better than most of the tosh served up from Hollywood.

Watched this last night. Bit of a let down really. Felt like a very watered down "made for TV" version of City of God. 4.5/10

 

I've got Elite Squad downloaded and ready to watch ... I just hope it's better than last night's offering.

I'm sure I should be able to illegally downl borrow it from elsewhere, but if I'm struggling may call you in on the kind offer of reparations ;)
