Paulo Morelli directs capably, with a heavy dash of MTV-generation flair: hyper-saturated colors, close-ups of skin glittering with sweat, and a constant patter of gunfire that undergirds the soundtrack like a steady heartbeat.

New DVD Releases: Vantage Point, Drillbit Taylor and More

The first DVD Tuesday of July brings a mixed bag of selections, led by Vantage Point, a topsy-turvy political thriller starring Dennis Quaid, Matthew Fox and William Hurt. Also debuting are the family comedy Drillbit Taylor, starring Owen Wilson as a homeless man masquerading as a bodyguard for bullied teens; Meet the Browns, the latest offering from box office juggernaut Tyler Perry; and Kar Wai Wong's dreamy ensemble drama My Blueberry Nights, featuring Norah Jones, Jude Law, Natalie Portman and Rachel Weisz.
Our DVD pick for the week is City of Men, Brazillian filmmaker Fernando Meirelles' intense follow-up to 2002's critically-acclaimed City of God.
