Another one of those tough films where kids with guns terrorize the neighborhood, but I found Sin Nombre and City of God much more sophisticated. There are some rough scenes and the local brats don’t mess around. Story-wise a bit weak, but the acting is very good. Definitely a strong film, but it didn't hit me that hard. 70%
