Summary: In the summer of 2000, in Rio de Janeiro, a 21-year-old hijacked a commuter bus and held its passengers hostage. The police were flummoxed as local TV crews arrived en masse to cover the headline-grabbing events as they unfolded. BUS 174 balances this potentially sensationalistic material with accounts by the police, the victims, the witnesses and friends and family of the hijacker. (Film Forum)

Terrifying, tragic, depressing. I was at the edge of my seat. Terrible what happened, both to the victims and Sandro. What an unfair life he had, I thought it was quite unfair.. He was 'invisible' to society

A rather unique documentary in the way it weaves interviews with not only footage of the central crime at hand, but also of the criminal's youth. In doing so, the film becomes less about the hijacking as an event but instead about the social and political circumstances that allowed such an event to occur. There are many perspectives here, the police, the bystanders, the hostages, other criminals, and people who knew the hostage taker, and all of them seem perfectly sincere and understandable.

This film in my opinion exposes the 'street kids' of Rio and the crime & corruption they cannot escape on a far deeper level than "City of God", and documents their victimization on a much more personal level. The result is chilling. Shots of the city from above and the "any jail in Rio" scenes were absolutely stunning.

The way it alternated between real footage of the hostage situation and the backstory of Sandro's horrendous childhood and life on the streets was perfection. You felt so bad for the hostages on the bus, but at the same time, you couldn't completely fault the guy who was holding them captive. It really gave an interesting perspective. If there wasn't the constant back and forth, it would be so easy to hate him. Great and incredibly important documentary - pure insanity, eye-opening.

Poignant and haunting, 174 refuses to make judgments or choose sides, while says painful things about society: Sandro isn't a monster, but a man raised by an indifferent and irresponsible state. An indifferent and irresponsible people.
