Equilibrium  (2002)

City of God  (2002)

City of Men  (2008)

I've got Equilibrium, No Country for Old Men, and City of Men to watch.  Actually, I began watching COM, but as with City of God (2002), it became too violent.  I realize that this violence is a reality.  It becomes quite intense to soak in.  I am hoping to make it through to the end.  t.b.c.

Okay- City of Men was fascinating--yes, there are multiple guns, and much swearing (and some badly translated subtitles), but the story gives a real impression of life in a shantytown (er, hill) in Rio de Janiero.

I'd liken this to the Brazilian version of American Gangster.  There's not that much money involved, but it's a matter of respect, family values, pride, legacy.  Next.
