Trivia:
This film was already a best-seller almost three months before its official release. Illegal copies of what the director called the "3rd cut" flooded the streets of all major capitals in Brazil, for the equivalent of five dollars a piece. Criminal investigation revealed that the original DVD was robbed in the Company Drei Marc, which does the subtitles. According to estimates at least three million people watched the bootleg version, which is six hundred thousand more than it managed during its theatrical run. However, it was the most seen Brazilian film that year in Brazilian theaters. moreQuotes:
Capitão Nascimento: [to Neto] Take off this black uniform because you don't deserve it! Take it off![slaps him]
Capitão Nascimento: You're not a "skull", you're a kid!

The movie tells the story of BOPE, which is equivalent to the SWAT in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Only difference is that, in Rio, the police is so corrupt, that they often must fight for themselves.
The movie has action - a lot of action-, and it also touches on deep sociological problems that plague the city to these days. It's a great compliment to City of God and, in my opinion, even better. City of God shows how the drug problem started in Rio. This movie shows where the city is now.
Vagner Moura is perfect in his role. He's a great good-bad guy. The movie is brilliant.
