Why do you assume I'm talking about the dialogue?

I had no particular problem with the dialogue, but rather with story's writing, which was anemic.

Well, I had to assume because you did not write what was pedestrian. And now "anemic." If not the dialog, then the "story's writing?" What exactly is that? I assume the dialog was written. So that would qualify. How was the writing anemic? Or the story? My understanding is that the story was based very closely upon the real life events. Should they have re-written the historial events to make it "non-anemic?" Again, what was "anemic" or pedestrian about the story? It was no more pedestrian than every John Wayne war and western film, every love story, and every sports story ever made. Please be specific so that there is something to respond to.

  this film, if anything, sugar-coated a lot, in the interests of not being too shocking or unwatchable. Killing kids for organ-donations, child prostitution and lots of other common facts of favela life were not included.
  This movie was based on a true story.
