So I just finished watching Carandiru....thanks for mentioning it before on this board. It was an awesome movie, def. up there with City of God and Elite Squad for me as Brazilian movies go. The stories of the different prisoners were great and the final 30 minutes was amazing.

For those who haven't seen it, I would recommend it to you if you enjoyed City of God. I'm a fan of prison movies, and this is one of the best ones I've seen so far.

Glad you liked it. I especially like the way they integrated the backstory of the prisoners in, so that the film isn't focused on the prison the entire time. I'm a big fan of movies that are character driven as well (Dagger and Majesty being pretty cool characters).

The falling weapons scene is awesome.

For anyone who hasn't seen the trailer: Carandiru
