MPAA RATING	NR
OUR RATING	★★★★★
SUMMARY	Relentlessly gripping, intense documentary about the 4 hour standoff between Rio de Janeiro police and one desperate young man with a busload of hostages. Using interviews and the real footage recorded during the highest ratings event in Brazilian TV history, filmmakers Felipe Lacerda and Jose Padilha turn this tragedy of errors into a commentary on culture and society on a global scale.
