City of God

I’ve just watched it. Now, should I recommend it? I loved it, but those three words normally mean that absolutely no one I know, or will ever know, is likely to agree with me.

• If you’re contemplating watching it, here are some reasons why you probably will NOT agree with my conclusion that it was actually pretty damn good…
• There is not a single gay cowboy contained in the entire two hours
• It has subtitles and – shock horror – they’re not in English!
• Lil Ze wasn't evil enough – they should have had the Joker take his part
• The gangsters were terrible shots, they should have had army training
  There are absolutely no visible signs of product placement in it. If you dare to watch it, you may not feel the urge to purchase a single low carb snack from a popular high street retailer within thirty seconds of the credits rolling
• There are no action figures or video games about it. Once you turn it off, that is it – you cannot relive the experience with a Wii
• There are no A-list Hollywood actors shaving their heads and playing a semi retarded character in the hope of snatching an Academy Award
• It should be pointed out before you watch it that God is not in this movie at all (no, not even a cameo) therefore the title is severely misleading and you may be tempted to sue
• There are no CGI monsters
• The trailer should tip you off that you will hate this film as it does not contain the minimum three exploding helicopters and/or slow motion dive shooting
• And, finally, there's no cash-in sequel, people aren't wearing enough hats and the dogs are too skinny to be believable
