Probably better on second viewing sooo I'll let you know how that goes once I get there.

I don't like foreign films, minus this one

I remember how excited I was to get a chance to see this in my local theater, as we get few foreign films around here. Afterwards, while I basked in the glory that is this tale of crime, I was sad to know that I had only experienced this with 3 other people. Seriously, what sort of crap had the majority of people come to the theater to see that evening?

This is worst film ever created. The cinematography made NO sense. The acting was even worse than the writing, and why don't they SPEAK ENGLISH??????

Hypnotic and harrowing. What a film! In an era where cinemas are over-saturated with hyper-stylized violence, it is rare to find a film that can churn your stomach just by pulling a trigger. The movie is bleak, but not sadistically so. It's honest. The scope of this story is immense, and it is told in a completely organic and immersive manner. Tremendous acting and incredible cinematography. When people say foreign cinema trumps anything coming from Hollywood, this is what they're talking about.

Too realistic for words. Essential viewing if only to make you realise how lucky you are not to be living in those slums (assuming your not!)

Amazing movie. It's very realistic, fantastic performances and excellent directing. Very intense movie with extremely much violence

The acting is surprisingly good for featuring such a wide cast of characters. I did not appreciate the fast editing, incessant shaky cam, high contrast aesthetic, and split screens (co0l!) And lol at this being "raw" or "gritty" or "realistic." It's too heavily stylized for those descriptions to ring true, not that that's such a horrible thing. It's a hard movie to hate. I just didn't think it was any more than "good."

I am unable to think of one flaw with this film. It's intense, well-directed, and the acting is phenomenal. If you haven't seen it, then make it your number one priority to do so.

Never left me with a boring moment.
