Real life in the slums of Rio
By a customer from Macclesfield , 21 May 2008[Highly rated reviewer]
I saw this film in Brazil last year when it came out there. I only understand basic portuguese and there were no subtitles but i was still glued to the story all the way through.
In my opinion, this is better than 'City of God'
It gives a real and pretty honest look at the situation in the favelas in Rio, allowing you to take a look at things from both the perspective of the 'traffickers' or drug dealers, and the police, who risk their lives for a job that pays pennies.

Well worth a watch
By Maix123 (3 reviews) , 05 Apr 2013Good Film, Well worth a watch. A brutal illustration of life in Brazil. Can't help but feel for the good police, corruption is rife and the innocent as usual are on the getting the good news.- Was this review helpful to you?

Ok Squad
By manonfireuk (301 reviews) from Liverpool , 02 Apr 2013This was a pretty decent film about Brazil's elite police force, tasked with taking down both the drugs cartels and police corruption from within. It was a very gritty and sometimes brutal film, and was fairly tense throughout. On the downside, it was a little repetitive in parts, at one point I felt like I'd watched the same scene play out 3 times only with different actors each time. Hasn't quite interested me enough to catch the sequel but it was entertaining enough for a couple of hours.- Was this review helpful to you?
