Please bear in mind that Elite Squad is the best movie ever written, produced and distributed in Brazilian history. It's the standard that teachers should use to teach Acting anywhere in college. It's the ultimate masterpiece of Latin movie.
Given that success, the format is often copied by other titles trying to gauge on the success attained by Elite Squad to drive viewers to new ticket sales. This title fails to do that. Acting is very weak, the story itself is very simple and the outcome is unrealistic. It lacks the conceptual presence that previous movies had, connecting with real cops to narrate a history that is not too much Hollywoodian but actually connected to Rio's day to day reality.
