Title: Documentary is much better
Product review: I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone - unless they were scouting for someone to direct the next James Bond or Arnold Schwarzenegger film. It's just a fast-paced gangster flick, using (one is tempted to say 'exploiting') as a background one of the most troubled slums in the world. People die every few moments, and it sports a relentless, pumped-up, John-Woo-style gun-and-trouble worship which you can find in dozens of action flicks these days. It's flashy as hell, and not real.The documentary on the DVD, however, is another story altogether. It's completely centered on the government terror that rains down on this city daily (something very marginal in the film) and is truly terrifying in a way that the andrenaline-MTV-soaked movie can't touch.
