8/10 [highly recommended]Great film, from the producer of "City of God"
Plot: Best buddies Acerola and Laranjinha, about to turn 18, discover things about their missing fathers' pasts which will shatter their solid friendship, in the middle of a war between rival drug gangs from Rio's favelas.
Beautiful story that is companied by astonishing shots of landscapes. City of Men takes you on a journey between two friends (both of whom fatherless) and their search to find out about their fathers. Through their search for the truth, their friendship and values are tested.
A fantastic film, though not as great as City of God, but just as spectacular. I recommend watching both films, as each provide a different element in story, friendship, war, and scenery.
