Elite Squad (Tropa de Elite)

Description
Through Wagner Mura's book, that controversial story begins. In Brazil, the writer Nascimento wanted to find an alternate. But it seems that the writer Nascimento wanted to track drug distributors and stay one step on the Pope's arrival to Rio de Cainero. It seems to be a real risk for the writer to tell the story is the coolest.

[José Padilha] recariously pitches the squad's brute force as less a necessary evil than the outgrowth of an existing evil -- a no-win situation that mocks liberal ideals and warps conservative pragmatism into domestic terrorism.

A depressing film that celebrates brute strength as the only means to stem the tide of violence and crime in Rio de Janeiro.

It bears a resemblance to viscerally exciting seventies urban thrillers like The French Connection, in which only the fascists could do what needed to be done.
