    Uunderworld 3

    'Lower City' follows the 'relationship' between three underworld characters in a sin-city esque Portugal.

    Two 'brothers from different mothers' see their strong friendship slowly disintegrate as they both fall for the same girl-a beautiful prostitute (and she is beautifull)-who comes between them (no pun intended).

    This is well worth a watch, and if you enjoyed flicks like 'Amores Perros' or 'City Of God' then this will be up your street!

    bad ending

    The only thing i did not like was the ending. I liked the story line even though it was a low budget film.
