Sounds like something I would like to see here but people need to know that this is not a American movie and things like do happen in some of these counties. Thank you for sharing this with me.

I'm commenting with ... ( 6 months ago by jwcavallaro)

I'm commenting with utter disbelief as to their saying; did they take time to watch this film? R they really prepared 2 comment on any film? I'd suggest t u watched properly t story b4 u go about making malicious suggestions
innuendoes about t Brazilian police as a whole; as I c'd c you weren't aware of all the facts relating in t story x the Br. reality. One can't go watching that film and criticizing it without having a minimum knowledge of t reality w involves t drug traffic in Br. (cont.)

There is not only a ... ( 6 months ago by jwcavallaro)

There is not only a corrupt police force in the story, the film is mainly about the not corrupted part of the police force in Rio.
They methodology might be wrong at your eyes, Americans, but some of them were the only way to deal with traffic dealers in Rio and with the hypocrisy of the "well born" Brazilians, who helps to sustain this drug dealers.

By the way, perhaps ... ( 6 months ago by jwcavallaro)

By the way, perhaps you should be commenting at the end of you awful comments: how hard might be for the Brazilian police to deal with the heavy war weapons showed in the film which are mainly brought to the gang leaders in Brazil by corrupted and unscrupulous American citizens. Sorry, but your incompetence stinks!

Hey, guys.
You all should at least try to research better about the situation in Rio before you stard saying non sense things as you did.
I wanna believe the subtitles were wrong. Different realities create different views, that's what I do think. We don't praise the BOPE as an amazing thing, you know. We didn't want it to be like this, but if you go to some Favela of the Rio, you'll see why they're like this. Thank god I have never
gone there even once. JMHamilton and jwcavallaro are right.

"there's situation and situations" Ask a SWAT member, if they are willing to do Waht bope do?? or even Better ask a Iraq vet. "The mean's justifies the ways" important point not pointed on this critic. the movie show the reality, in 1996/1997. in this 11 Years the situation got worst. man find a AK-47 is usual on the favelas, finding a "bazzoka" is not that usual, they have found "toma-hawk" missile in the slums(wonder where the missile was smuggle from) /

It's funny to hear them saying it is a disturbing film...well, we live in a disturbing world. And much worse things happen out there. Our world is full of atrocities.

A tomahawk in a favela? What for? How the hell would they launch such a beat from a favela? And aiming at what? Some drug lord in Columbia who failed to deliver the goods? Where did you see that?

i loved the movie, it was gritty, real and better than any puke i've seen out of hollywood lately

It's easy for those ... ( 4 months ago by cincodeagosto)

It's easy for those who call BOPE fascists. They are sitting on a confortable chair, living in a first world country, just listening to what brazilian leftwinger intelectuals has to say (and buying it...) And I bet most of them enjoyed City of God, just because the bad boys are seen as victmis of the system.

What the woman says ... ( 4 months ago by pinnecco)

What the woman says in the end, about not understanding why the movie became a blockbuster in Brazil, clearly shows that she haven't done her homework.

They shouldn't try ... ( 4 months ago by MulekeDoido6669)

They shouldn't try to have these people comment on the movie. They clearly haven't the slightest idea about life in Brazil (and hence, what the movie intend to portrait). The bottom line is, if theme of the movie is so alien to you that you are unable to make intelligible comments about it, you might as well as just say that the movie is the Brazilian version of Rambo.

hehehe, it's true. ... ( 3 months ago by srjcarneiro)

hehehe, it's true. they find some times .50 machine guns missiles, but every day granades, some kind of essential stuff for traficants... for our luck they dunno how to use missiles and others heavy weapons found... yet.

i dont believe i've just wasted my time watching this crap... two dumbasses talaking about what the have no clue at all... that's reality... you gotta watch the movie anda try to get its point.. nobody is trying to glorify anything... but that's the way things work out here, sadly, of course...

These two have no ... ( 3 months ago by juicerock718)

These two have no idea on what they are talking about. From life experience, this movie is very realistic. Elite Squad or BOPE, are not fascists, thats the culture in Rio for hundreds of years. The students in Rio supply the drug trade which continue to fuel Rio's drug violence. These two talking about the movie first should do some history then analyze this movie. It did well cause it portrayed life there in every point. These two reviewing clearly demonstrate how liberal some folks are.

(Alison Willmore)I don
´t think that this film glorifies the BOPE police force.They show the reality.. how these guys are under stress..going up everyday in the favelas.. with low payment..and under heavy fire. Come to Brazil before u make such a superficials commentaries.()
