José
Padilha's high-octane thriller follows Nascimento, the captain of
an elite military-style squad that fights police corruption and drug
trafficking in the Rio favelas. Hellbent on leaving his job due to
the encroachments of impending fatherhood, mayhem turns to chaos when
Nascimento recruits two honest cops to train as his potential replacement.
A full-on, stylish and indisputably impressive film.
"A tough and realistic cop story that stays believable from beginning
to end while delivering the truth about loyalty, courage and gut-wringing
fear on an inner city military mission with no second chances."
