Elite Squad

A brazilian production in portugese. It was like watching some hongkong police movie but with a slower and darker theme. Narration and quite a substantial amount of dialogue time dominate this show. Definitely not a main stream movie, but overall is quite okay.

The story revolved around Captain Nascimento, from the special ops police. He was arrowed to eliminate the drug dealers in a slum area near the area where the Pope will be visiting.

He felt this was something quite impossible as drug criminals and corrupted police worked hand in hand. And his pregnant wife also urged him to leave BOPE, so he began to choose his replacement.

Neto and Matia joined the military police force as honest men but found that it was so corrupt that commander in charge was also taking bribes.

Knewing they were righteous folks, they were assigned crappy job. Neto fixing unrepairable police cars because no good parts was ever available. Matia was arrowed to do paper work.

During his search for his replacement, entered a subplot, Matia studying part time and getting involved with a girl from a slum area which was infested with drug dealers. His job as a police was kept a secret to her, but when BOPE crashes the slum area a few times. Matia got on the papers in a wrong manner, they were at the wrong place at the right time.

From then, Nasci knew them and BOPE started a training stint for BOPE newbies. Few graduated, Neto and Matia were among them. Nasci chose Neto as his understudy though with some regrets as Neto was hot heated and was anytime top of the DOA list.

Anyway, he did die but when off duty. Baiano, a drug dealer killed him mistakingly for Matia. Thus, Nasci and Matia went all out to hunt him down, which they did. And he died a faceless death. 7/10
