In 1997, before the visit of the pope to Rio de Janeiro, Captain Nascimento from BOPE (Special Police Operation Battalion) is assigned to eliminate the risks of the drug dealers in a dangerous slum nearby where the pope intends to be lodged. Captain Nascimento is trying to find a man to replace him because his wife is pregnant and he intends to quit the command and become a trainer of the new recruits. Meanwhile, the two idealistic friends Neto and Matias join the Military Police force expecting to become honest policemen and fight the criminals. However, they see only corruption, lack of competence and stupid bureaucracy in the Military Police, and after a serious incident in the Morro da Babilônia, they decide to join the BOPE. The lives of Capitain Nascimento, Neto and Matias are entwined along the next months, first in the tough training period and then in action against drug dealers. Nascimento believes that Neto could be his substitute, but his impulsive attitudes jeopardizes his choice. Later, the intelligent Matias seems to be the correct choice, but he needs to prove that he has heart.
Leave your thoughts about Elite Squad.
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaPois é infinitamente mais recompensador assistir a um filme que estimula a discussão e a auto-análise do que um que, por covardia ou falta de ambição, limita-se a seguir a corrente do politicamente correto. |
| Time OutDavid FearElite Squad can't decide whether it wants to pull the lid back on what urban decay has wrought or simply open up a can of whup ass. |
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonA tough and realistic cop story that stays believable from beginning to end while delivering the truth about loyalty, courage and gut-wringing fear on an inner city military mission with no second chances. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinThe captain narrates in a punchy, journalistic style that gives Elite Squad an air of sociological realism--it bears a resemblance to viscerally exciting seventies urban thrillers like "The French Connection." |
| Village VoiceJim RidleyThis latest pounding slice-of-thug-life thriller from Brazil packs the same cinematic firepower as "City of God," only on the other side of the law. |
| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerPadilha succumbs to monotonous, hollow flamboyance with his City of God clone. |
| Film4Daniel EtheringtonAn action-drama that's fascinating for its insights into Rio's social structures. But while it's compellingly intense, it's also morally muddled. |
| CinematicalScott WeinbergA very compelling movie that's almost ruined by a horrible narration track. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonA satisfactory enough cop movie, but not one that people will still be name checking years hence |
| Sky CinemaTim EvansIt's a bit like a Latin American episode of The Bill written by Richard Littlejohn and directed by Chuck Norris. |
