 Just watched it on Netflix. A truly excellent film. The editing is a little MTV-esque, with occasional random speedups/freeze-frames, but it's not so overdone that it becomes a problem.

Yes, the film contains lots of violence, but it's not especially gory. The disturbing aspect stems more from the casual lack of regard for life exhibited by all involved. That, and the fact that the shooters/shootees are frequently little children.

5/5.5.

Edit: The offical "City of God" movie website currently has a banner ad offering the chance to win a trip to Rio. Haha.
