The dialog is not natural at all, the words are articulated like no native speaker ever does in a casual convo. Poor acting from the prostagonist's love interest. The motivation for the crimes are barely look into, only shallowly mentioned. Really nice photography though.

What a wasted chance! This unofficial Elite Squad 3 is, technically, very well directed, acted, edited and, as everybody acknowledges, filmed. In Padilha's Elite Squad 1, there was a chance of showing how unacceptable was the violation of human rights as means of investigating and fighting crime, but the suspects were actually criminals, and Captain Nascimento became the hero of fascists. Brazilian society went downhill and it is unavoidable seeing it as a turning point. Here, in this generic Elite Squad by Marcos Prado, there is the same issue, with the same first-person narration in the beginning, but with a difference: structural racism seems a core issue. As the movie advances, spectator feels confused if there will be plot twist that will reinforce anti-racist message, or if the scenes of a black man raping a white woman are not a misperception of racist victims in the story, but actually a reproduction of a racist narrative that reminds Griffith's The Birth of a Nation. Well, I hated the end...

Good photography. Then a complete mess, bad acting, this is a romance-drama-soap opera. There is no detective, action at all. The Bope it is a élite squad not a regular police. Please do not waste your time, I read a élite this movie is a élite squad 3, hahaha ha, the Guy Who wrote that it is insan3, this is mix of kinder detective and a bad parody of true detective. Waste of time. Too boring to be an action movie, to dumb to be a detective one, a kid Who barely speaks defeat at élite squad, the lead character look like a rookie in his first day, too many plots, at the end the Movie is barely based on the case, they only took a gruesome murders, and waste film. Only the photography worth because the beautiful lanfscapes.

Excellent film inspired by the real case of the necrophilic brothers of Nova Friburgo (a city in the interior of the state of Rio de Janeiro) A great adapted, agile and accurate script.

In the 1990s, two brothers are accused of brutally murdering eight women, a man and a child in the Serra dos Órgãos region. Following the suspects, Sergeant Téo realizes that the judgment of the press, police and local society is fundamentally racist, and he begins to have doubts about the conviction of one of them. Based on a true story, the film is a work of fiction about the famous case of the "Brothers Necrophiles".

In addition to terror/suspense, we also have many questions and social criticism, with questioning contours, a Bope police officer analyzes that there are almost no black people, few, including himself, blatant religious intolerance (the brothers' relatives are devotees of a religion of matrices Africans) while observing the white Catholics and Evangelicals, the boys were attacked by their fathers, and marginalized by the farmers, by the community, a beautiful adaptation, national cinema investing in terror.
