| | Movie Haiku: | Split decision: Jan appreciates the filmmakers’ technical bravado but felt bludgeoned by the non-stop violence. Rich thought it captured the essential sociology of the Rio slums & the desperate rhythm of tragically short lives. Gang leaders force everyone around them to choose sides while the corrupt police refuse to intervene.
