Review of Elite Squad (2007) by Robin T — 05 Oct 2008
A slap in the face!
This movie is hardcore to the bone. What really impressed me was how the tension and stress was built up. It really shows all the shit a regular cop has to wade through just to get ends to meet with all the corruption and criminal superiors...and not to mention the drugdealers who pay off the dirty cops and their superiors. After a while you'll understand how some officers with moral fibre might get fed up and start using extreme measures. I can't blame them for their actions and I fully understand why they've created a special unit with clean cops only. This shit happens when the regular police force is dirty, their superiors are dirty and the politicians are dirty all the way.
Well anyway the liberal media in Sweden has of course condemned this movie as a neo-fascist propaganda movie and all the blah-blah that goes with that kinda talk. Ironically, the swedish media uses the same classic "I care a lot"-phrases as the spoilt university kids in the movie. I think that says it all ;).
