Claudiano A @RT04813221 Apr 13 Extreme Tarantino kind of movie. Brutal? Yes. But totally based on real life in Rio de Janeiro certain areas. BOPE Squad is 100% real, and the type of training and action reported in the film is 100% real. Zero illusion or exaggeration which surprises so many people. Obviously, it's not what happens in the rest of Brazil, just as the violence in some areas of NYC doesn't represent what happens in the rest of the US. Anyhow, the movie IS breathtaking. And many won't be able to handle it. See more Daniel A @Dakial Feb 12 American critics often overlook the film's dual-sided critique. While the narrator is a member of BOPE, his perspective does not constitute an endorsement of the unit's actions. Rather, the narrative exposes the brutality inherent in those who believe they occupy the moral high ground within a chaotic ecosystem of political corruption and organized crime. Conversely, a segment of the Brazilian audience perceives BOPE as heroic figures. This group often validates the unit’s aggressive tactics against perceived enemies. The movie depicts a "no-win" scenario where every institutional actor is flawed. The resulting polarized reception demonstrates how viewers default to tribal instincts when confronted with complex moral ambiguity See more Guilherme M @GuilhermeRT Nov 16 There is one thing that the critics of this movie don't know: they aren't brazillian. This is a brazillian movie, made from brazillian people, for brazillian people, for only brazillian people that know how the police and the drug traffickers works in BRAZIL. The movie depicts BOPE, the elite police squad from Brazil, that does their job: stop banditry. Classic must-see for brazillians, never dissapoints.

Vocês erraram feio, o filme virou um ícone no país, as falas são icônicas e levantou debates que duram até hoje. Ja esses críticos acho que ninguém se lembra mais, passaram vergonha.

Para quem não é brasileiro, "Tropa de Elite" pode parecer um filme gratuitamente violento e marcado por morais ambíguas e questionáveis. Para quem é brasileiro, é um retrato brutalmente realista das relações de poder e opressão entre os órgãos de segurança pública e as classe sociais menos afortunadas, assim como da enraizada e incurável corrupção daqueles que juraram nos proteger.
