One of the best movies I have ever seen. After being pushed to the brink by drug dealers and the corrupt police that protects them, the Brazilian... ple loved to see that there are people out there who are willing to fight the drug dealers on their own front. Unfortunately the so called Leftists (also known as pansies) rather give up our cities to the drug dealers for the sake of "human rights". Well.. where are the human rights of the people who get killed every day by drug dealers.... thats the answer the BOPE. Full Review

This latest pounding slice-of-thug-life thriller from Brazil packs the same cinematic firepower as "City of God," only on the other side of the law.Full Review

The captain narrates in a punchy, journalistic style that gives Elite Squad an air of sociological realism--it bears a resemblance to viscerally exciting seventies urban thrillers like "The French Connection."Full Review

A one-note celebration of violence-for-good that plays like a recruitment film for fascist thugs.Full Review
