"de 5/10 para 7/10 alguns consideram o melhor filme brasileiro(que aliás é Heleno) e é até difícil dizer o quão icônico e parte da cultura brasileira é esse filme, até mais que City of God, interessante por todo o comentário político e social que faz a respeito da corrupção não só política como moral, ética e todos etc possível, é um filme que segundo teorias serviria para demonizar a polícia mas acabou por ser o contrário e terminou sendo a melhor e mais robusta propaganda "

Trainee officer: Men in black what is it that you do? Student: I do things that scare even Satan himself! Trainee officer: Men in black what is your mission? Student: Get into the slam and leave corpses on the ground! "
