Rio De Janeiro looks like a total hellhole in this crime drama about a squad of cops called BOPE a military squad attempting to contain the city's drug lords. The drug dealers are tough and the regular street cops are corrupt. Making their job very tough.
If the BOPE cops come off as tough and brutal dealing with the criminal element in the slums the criminals are even more violent it that's possible. After a while it's hard to know who the good guys are or in fact were there ever any good guys.
A violent but extremely well made film.
The screenplay was by Braulio Mantovani, Jose Padilha and Rodrigo Pimentel, the film runs 115 minutes and was a big hit in Brazil.
