Filmed not unlike Man on Fire with quick angle changes and and often shaky viewing angle, this film also mimics (perhaps coincidentally) Cidade de Deus.
Never being to the city I can not back up the authentic portrayal of it. However, the constant buzz of city noise, obvious social class differences, as well as a raw look into the drug world and crime can almost define the dark underbelly of every major city.
This film was presumably filmed on a small budget but because of the filming location it's not obvious. The chosen actors were brilliant, both were brutal, delinquents and affectionate making Mala Leche a raw and captivating film into the drug world.
7 / 10
