Review of Elite Squad (2007) by Robert H — 17 May 2015
Elite Squad shows potential but ultimately doesn't deliver enough to truly make it a great film. It is a great look at Brazil and their slums, police corruption, and the military style with which a country might have to fight something like gangs and drugs.
The sequel to this film manages to improve on it and produces a much better viewing experience. Both are long in the tooth but the sequel never feels it.
Elite Squad is a good starting point for Jose Padilha's cop series, but it has better shots coming down the barrel.
