**As a brazilian, i can approve this movie as relatable** As a brazilian, this movie i can agree with. I love the drama, the action parts are good. But best of all, THE POLICE.

**One of the best films that Brazil exported internationally.** Being Portuguese, I believe that I know the realities of Brazil reasonably better than most foreigners. After all, historical and cultural ties connect the two countries to this day. For this reason, I am not at all surprised by the portrait that this film leaves us, about a world that rarely appears in the tourist magazines of Rio
Decent movie with lots of strongly violent action. It stands up because it is staged in Rio and created by Brazilians. The plot is not very surprising but good enough.
