Elite Squad / Tropa de Elite (2007)

Post by El Rhino » Sat Dec 13, 2008 10:26 am

Has anyone seen this movie yet? I just saw it the other day, it's pretty sweet. It's from the same guy who did City of God. It's about an elite group of military police in Brazil that operate in the slums of Rio de Janeiro. Basically the movie is about these guys going around and kicking drug dealer's asses while showing wealthy liberal college students in a negative light.

not the same guy. Fernando Meirelles did City of God.

his new movie Blindness was good though.

You're right. I thought I read somewhere that it was the same guy. Oh well, they're both Brazilian dudes.
