Review of City of God (2002) by Marina N — 04 Feb 2012
Riveting in its gritty depiction of drug gangs in a Rio slum but I had trouble buying the ending. I felt the story unfortunately came off the rails at that point.
(Spoiler).
How could a crack marksman armed with a rifle standing just a few meters away fail to kill his hated enemy who was posing for a photo? And how did Rocket know exactly where the cops would stop to talk to Lil Ze so he would be in position to take pictures partially hidden behind a lattice wall? And the kids suddenly taking over came out of left field.
