Oh damn, I completely got City of God mixed up with the film, The City of Lost Children. City of Lost Children was meh, but no City of God was really good. It was a little gratuitous and exploitative at times, but still good at showing the corruption and horrid social class system in Brazil. Speaking of Brazil, there are actually some other really good films to come out of there.

I really enjoyed Central Station and Elite Squad is also apparently really good, but I haven't seen that one yet.
