Finally watched this film, wondering what people thought of it (couldn't find a thread in the forum). I know the sequel was released last year, haven't gotten a hold of a copy yet.

Thought it was a very good action film in terms of the tension that was built up, obviously favoring more realism than over-the-top theatrics and super-human abilities. Also enjoyed the social commentary as well, although admittedly I don't know what the situation is like in Rio. Looking forward to seeing part 2.

For those that have seen it, just wanted to post another annoying DVD cover...

Who the heck are those guys above the title??? Are they trying to market this to the urban demographic? :cry:

Good action filck. Very brutal and unforgiving. I went to FilmFest DC in 2008 just to see this movie alone. I may get the DVD eventually. I haven't seen the sequel yet either but it's definitely on my 'seeing' list...

Both films are amazing and somehow brutal!

You should aslo see the documentary by the same director called "BUS 174"
