This movie is very similar to Elite Squad. It´s about public security in Brazil. The plot is an adaptation of the political invasion of the Alemão Favela, a very famous moment in TV from Brazil. I recommend it. 8/10.

For those who live in Rio de Janeiro(including me), this kind of movie is nothing more than an extended version of our daily news, because all they show are the conflicts between cops and drug dealers or dealers against rival dealers. The movie shows our reality(similiar to Elite Squad and Intervention).

But it is also some Brazilian version of the American movies about Marines against Muslims, almost the same thing.

Violence is heavy but real, and so is language, exactly as our real life.

Not exactly enterteining, it gives action, suspense and drama who are stronger to those who live this reality. Also, the movie criticizes the government and the police - useless but nice for those who do not know the famous violence and criminality of the "Wonderful City"
