City of Men Brazil Movie Review :
Splintered off from Fernando Meirelles' undeniable City of God, Paulo Morelli's Cit y of Men, a continuation of the acclaimed Sundance Channel TV series, takes on a similar ghetto with a similar Dickensian cast of gangsters, seasoned veterans, and day-job so-and-sos as they go 12 rounds with the day-to-day routine of slum life in Rio de Janeiro. But where God used a central eye to see the pervasive crawl of violence in the ghetto, Men goes for straight shooting and high hopes.
Morelli, a veteran of the television series, continues to document the lives of two young men that make their home in the area known as Dead End Hill. One, a young father named Ace (Darlan Cunha), has a problem paying attention to his son while also trying to excise his youthful indiscretions. The other, a motorcycle-taxi driver named Wallace (Douglas Silva), wants to find his father before he gets his ID card for his 18th birthday. These young roustabouts, especially Ace, find themselves in the middle of a turf war between likable though snotty gang leader Midnight (Jonathan Haagensen) and his right-hand man Fasto (Eduardo BR).
Attempting to ride the same wave as God, the film has a fleeting interest in all the characters it brushes up against, from Wallace's ex-con pop Heraldo (Rodrigo dos Santos) to Ace's wife (Camila Monteiro) to wannabe-gangster Caju (Pedro Henrique). Despite its moments of visceral gunplay and the suspenseful night raids staged by Midnight to regain his territory, Men inverts the cause of God's unfathomable power and plays things as strictly optimistic with a glint towards the future: the next season of the show.
Perhaps it's unfair to consider Morelli's film against Meirelles': You might as well compare a company newsletter to Candide. But Men lacks history, relevance and, perhaps most substantially, charisma.
It wanders up&down the slanted streets&dilapidated shops&houses with the recognizable air of "look how good we have it." But at the end, when Ace, Wallace, and Clayton walk off without any ties to their slum-sweet-slum, you can almost hear the soundtrack cueing up "Three Little Birds."
