Synopsis

From the director of Bus 174 comes this gripping story of the trials and tribulations of an elite commando unit tasked to maintain law and order in a favela ruled by drug dealers.

Our take

Violence begets violence; violence stops violence. Such is the core of José Padilha’s massively successful, terrifically controversial favela police thriller. It won the Golden Bear at the Berlinale and scored huge at home in Brazil, but the real question is: what do you think of these guys?
