“I was recommended this movie on several occasions by some of my Brazilian friends, and was never able to find the time to watch it. I always prioritized other movies. Still, in the back of my mind, I really wanted to watch it. I finally did, and man I was disappointed. I was expecting something as gripping as City of God, as entertaining as Tropa de Elite, but no. Trash was definitely a lot worse than these two movies. I donu0026#39;t think there ever was enough tension in the movie and the characters felt a little amusing sometimes. At least thatu0026#39;s my opinion. Not every movie can be a masterpiece, so I guess Iu0026#39;ll judge this one as just another decent movie coming from Brazil, with the typical Favela kids vs Underworld Bosses + corrupt police. Decent. Thatu0026#39;s it.”
