Elite Squad is a mostly fine piece of action film making that manages to separate itself from its brethren through its frenetic, kinetic pacing. The story itself is serviceable - elite BOPE leader craves retirement, searches for a replacement in two seemingly different personalities. One is the live wire Neto, the other is idealistic lawyer in training Matias.

The action set piece... read more

Since this movie won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film festival, I was really eager to watch it. Honestly, I wasn't disappointed. Indeed, it reminded me of this other great Brazilian flick, 'Cidade de Deus'. The big difference is that they didn't only focus on the Favelas but, this time, you get a glimpse on all the layers involved in the drug industry (the violent drug dealers, the population o... read more

"15.6 Erinomainen toimintaelokuva. Toiminta on täydellisen kaunista. Keskeiset henkilöt saavat aikaa tarpeeksi ja näiden perhe-elämääkin näytetään. Koulutuskohtaukset ovat myös erinomaista katsottavaa."

"Katsottu 3.7.2012 DVD Rankka brasilialainen kuvaus favela-slummien täyttämästä helvetistä tunkkaisen kuumassa Rio de Janeirossa. Köyhyyden, huume- ja jengisotien riepottelema suurkaupunki on alati otsikoissa alueella jylläävien väkivaltaisuuksien takia. Paikalliset poliisivoimat ovat täynnä korruptiota, eikä kukaan muutenkaan uskaltaisi favela-alueille astua. Vallan ovat ottaneet keskenään sotivat jengit, jotka saavat aseita poliiseilta huumeita vastaan. Järjestelmä on läpimät"

"1.6.12. Blu-ray Pitäisi varmaan kirjoittaa tästä enemmänkin. Sen sijaan tyydyn kysymään, että kuka muka tulkitsee tämän elokuvan jotenkin niin, että ohjaaja ja muut tekijät olisivat näiden filmissä kuvailtujen puolifasististen sotilaspoliisien _puolella_? Tällaisia syytteitä on esitetty kautta maailman ja olen hämmentynyt.
