Just saw the movie "Tropa de Elite"
 

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0861739/

Any of you guys seen this yet? One of the best movies I've seen in a while.

Covers the story of a Brazilian elite police force (BOPE) that fights drug dealers in the favelas (slums) of Rio. Great flick.

These guys are constantly in war with drug dealers, with 156 of special operations in a typical years and use weapons no other police in the world uses: http://viralblink.blogspot.com/2008/...te-police.html

Yeah, Pretty cool shit. I saw like the half of it, because last time I tried to watch it I was way too drunk... But i'll give it a second try pretty soon.

I guess you saw Cidade de Deus before.

There's also another movie coming out, like a sequel of Cidade de Deus by the same producer.

There was actually a mini-series by the folks who made that film, ran 3 or 4 seasons. Really good. Plays on IFC some times. Called Cidade dos Homens.
