Well, the film belongs to a different reality. Rio underworld and the cops are just like the movie shows. The director is not a blood seeking facist nor a guy wanting to address a nice message. He's almost like a journalist reporting the crime scene and Rio's cops.<br />Live in Rio for more than 30 years and you'll understand the movie.Luizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13154152811297998408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14812333.post-11160550017253794782010-10-17T22:04:49.231-05:002010-10-17T22:04:49.231-05:00I do not know why people expect a "special me...I do not know why people expect a "special message" in movies...This movie was straightfoward on how the life of a cop in brazil is and what they deal with at work.I know that cause I am one (Policia Civil Sao Paulo state not Military and thank goodness not in RIO lol). There are no good guys or bad guys, just wrong doing and different motives. Plain simple. I thought it was a great movie. Elite Squad resembles City of God probably because it was the first time u saw a favela. We Brazilians didnt get that problem cause most of us sees it almost everday. Favela setting, on cops point of view. Great movie on my opnion. The sequal just came out, I watched it, I would give 3 thumbs up of i had 3 hands... 10 times better than the first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14812333.post-20374129396791850632010-02-20T07:42:30.109-06:002010-02-20T07:42:30.109-06:00Rio is not be largest Brazilian city.
