City of Men: Movie Review.
Thursday, July 10th, 2008
I watch movies, lots and lots of ‘em. City of Men is the most recent work of director Fernando Mierelles (Brazillian) Oscar nominated for City of God which is a must see movie. Anyway, I like keeping these reviews short and sweet: City of Men is a highly stylized film, with nice hot male bodies running around the favellas of Rio totting guns like children playing cowboys. It is fun to watch the amateur gun slinging. Unfortunately, despite the nice cinematography the story just seems to drag and ends predictably (no spoilers here). This movie is worth watching but only because City of God was so good and there is so little else out there.
This movie is available on DVD. For more details about the movie take a look at these links.
