Elite Squad - Tropa de Elite

The Elite Squad

Other national movie is called "The Elite Squad", I think you have ever heared about this movie or you already watched it. So the story happens in Rio de Janeiro, in southeast region of Brazil. If you already watched this movie, I can guess you would think that Brazil is a places where there are shoot-out, drugs, dead and it happens every time, when you walk on the streets, suddenly you hear a shooting....IT'S NOT IN THIS WAY! !
Of course, it exists (like in every place) but not often like you can see in the movie. I live in south and I have never seen something like that to happen. In the film this idea is so exaggerated. If you don't know what is the film about here is an explanation: The movie is a semi-fictional which account of the BOPE (Police Special Operations Battalion) combats drug trafficking. Keeping order has its price though and their actions make it difficult to distinguish right from wrong and justice from revenge. BOPE Captain Nascimento (Wagner Moura) is facing a crisis: in addition to the pressures of fighting within war zones, the Captain must find and train his own replacement so he can escape daily violence and get close to his wife who is about to give birth to their first child.
This film is still too controversial....
