Fathers and sons

Cidade dos Homens (City of men)

Crit

Conventional, surprise-free storytelling that nonetheless is moving and effective to white middle-class liberals who are suckers for poverty and violence way above the U.S. bar. Winning performances by the two lead actors, also, Douglas Silva and Darlan Cunha, as well as by thug Jonathan Haagensen, seen earlier in Cidade de Deus (City of God). This has me contemplating the Brazilian TV series that is apparently a bridge between the two Cities.
