City of God
The movie City of God is based on true events that occurred in a housing project outside of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The movie is very good and also very intense. The movie is entirely in Portuguese and subtitled in English, but it is not difficult to follow the movie. What is really unique about this movie is that most of the actors were not professionals, but they were people taken out of the real City of God and put into the movie. It is definitely a must see movie. Here is a link on IMDB.com for more information and a summary about the movie. Enjoy.

I agree that it is an excellent movie. And it certainly is very intense. It's not for the weak-kneed. The difference between this action movie and others of the Hollywood type is that this movie is based in a reality that drives the point home all the more directly and poignantly.
