... View MoreThe movie Elite Squad was a very captivating movie with a ton of corruption and action. There were a lot of interesting twists and turns that kept me very interested. It had a strong American type of movie vibe to it. I think it was a very interesting representation of the police force in Brazil and showed the true possibility of corruptness within a government or a police force. It was also interesting to compare it to the other foreign films that I have seen in my Global Perspectives class in the aspect that there was actually wealth. There were both sides of the spectrum instead of just the poor side of the equation. I think that was what was making seem very American to me. But the plot itself was very intriguing and the twists along the way kept the movie alive and surprising which I really liked. I would definitely recommend it and overall was a very great movie.
... View MoreI don't know where all the praise is coming from for this movie, this is literally one of the worst written movies I have ever seen and trust me the only reason I'm writing this review is because iv never been more fooled of time in my life. Literally a time wasting movie that I thought would at least have a good ending.Lets get one thing straight, this movie takes a whole 1 hour and 30 minutes building up to pretty much nothing. It just keeps building up momentum leading absolutely nowhere.SPOILERS ALERT! The end result is the last 20 minutes being your finale of revenge. You can say it wasn't much of a revenge and it was such a terrible revenge at that. How much the story was building up with those corrupt police officers ruining the system killing everyone while the good guys did nothing and killed no one. The script is bad, that's all there is to say. I found zero enjoyment and zero entertainment. Even Hollywood blockbusters are more entertaining, these reviews are absolutely garbage.
... View MoreThis movie is awesome especially if you understand Portuguese, and know how Brazil operates. This movie is action packed and a great watch all together. I was introduced to this movie by finding it on IMDb's Top 250 chart, and was instantly hooked. I went to check the chart today and noticed this movie is no longer on there, well I think that was a huge mistake because this movie really is that good. Watch it and see for yourself, and for whoever is the person controlling that top 250 chart do people a favor and put this movie back on there. I see so many movies on that list that are questionable, this should not be one of them.
... View MoreThe movie is brilliant - the people before me have said it. Then why am I writing about it? There are few films telling something important. Brazil has made one.It makes you think - an action that lots of us tend to forget... It thrills you, it makes you cry, it makes you angry. It makes you willing to do something.Don't be surprised if you feel that it filled an empty space in you.There is still a strangling feeling 1 hour after the end of the movie... Because I saw a life so common to what we have here in Eastern Europe. And I realized how close to each other we really are. The truth is common.So, prepare for a hard and impacting movie.
