Infelizmente o filme teve sua história totalmente descompreendida pela sociedade, que taxou os policias como heróis e os bandidos como os vilões. Não entenderam que o filme explana sobre a cadeia gerada pela corrupção e tráfico, e que no final ninguém é herói, todos possuem seu papel de culpa dentro da grande guerra civil travada nas comunidades do país.
A while ago I heard that RoboCop was going to be remade. Like probably most film fans, I thought to myself why anyone would attempt such folly. That’s why I was piqued when the other day I was driving home, and I happened to catch an interview on the CBC with Brazilian director Jose Padiha. The gist of the interview was the question ‘why the hell would you want to remake Robocop’. To answer that question, Padiha had to chronicle his filmography to show how he came to such a decision.
Padiha is an extremely well informed and eloquent gentleman as an interviewee. Basically, he’s a man on a mission. A mission to expose police corruption. You can tell by…
"It's a living hell, but it's what you do" -Capitao Nascimento,
DAMN... try watching Elite Squad and City of God and then complaining about your stupid little problems.
How far will they go for what they consider justice? In Elite Squad, a group of elite police officers have to clean out a neighborhood of drug dealers before the Pope comes into town and it is intense. The first hour is about setting up the squad and humanizing all of the characters and the second half is about kicking ass and taking names. It's an excellent, and brutally real film about a the role of police in a war-torn community and I recommend it to anyone into the crime genre.

Uma obra que glorifica tudo que quer criticar
De fato, José Padilha consegue criar um realismo muito forte nessa obra, toda essa questão da violência policial (indo desde abordagens violentas até tortura), corrupção e guerra do tráfico que fazem parte do Brasil até hoje não são escondidas pelo diretor, seja pelos temas abordados ou pelas excelentes atuações, é fato que José Padilha cria uma obra extremamente verossímil, e era de se esperar visto que o plano inicial do diretor quanto ao longa era de fazer um documentário.
O problema é o modo como Padilha aborda isso, tendo em vista que ele já tinha dito em entrevista que queria criticar toda essa violência e corrupção policial com seu longa, não consigo…
Homens de preto qual é nossa missão?
Entrar pela favela e deixar corpo no chão
rio de janeiro e a síndrome do policial justiceiro, deprimente
Incredible film. What makes a cop corrupt? What makes honest cops violent? What makes a society trust drug lords instead of the police? Does fighting violence with violence work? These are some of the themes this movie explores. You're not spoon fed any answers, but given the opportunity to form your own opinion. If you watch this and think you're being told what is right and wrong then you're missing the point.

Ok, so to all my Latin American friends here (cause the rest might not get it): how ironic is that a movie about corruption gets sponsored and was helped paid by a company (Petrobras) that has been found guilty of some serious crimes in (and I believe) outside Brazil?
But seriously, as I watched this movie, I couldn't help but actually understanding the decision of Hollywood to hire Jose for a remake of Robocop seem like a good idea, as this film proves the man had a great hand in directing violence and propulsive action, thrilling scenes.
I also get to appreciate the (hated) notion that when it comes to crime, you can't go and pigeonhole…

Tropa de elite é um filme sólido, dos poucos acertos do Padilha, mas o que ele representa no final com sua linguagem americanizada e pontos abordados é o que me incomoda.
Falam muito que o brasileiro entendeu errado esse filme.
Realmente, o filme mostra as contradições e a brutalidade da polícia, sempre mostrando o lado sujo, deixando explícito a psicopatia do capitão Nascimento. Mas eu não culpo ninguém por ter entendido errado, apesar de tudo existe uma Forte glamourização do BOPE, a ênfase no "não entra corrupto no BOPE" é música para os ouvidos do cidadão comum. A música tema, frases de efeito e formato de filme americano só impulsionam a imagem da força e esse espectador no final só…
A brutal, unwavering & violent dive into the criminal underworld existing within the slums of Rio de Janeiro, Elite Squad is a semi-fictional account of Brazil's own SWAT team, known as BOPE, and while the film became a cultural phenomenon in its country during its time of release, I fail to see anything that's so impressive about it.
Set in the late 1990s, Elite Squad (also known as Tropa de Elite) follows the leader of Rio de Janeiro's Special Police Operations Squad who is looking for his replacement as he intends to retire from the field soon and take the job of training new recruits. But his final operation requires him to take down drug dealers & criminals in the slum area…
Not so much "action-packed" as it is just "PACKED." Like watching a military action movie, a navy seals training documentary, an anti-drug PSA (the good kind), and a revenge thriller all at once and they’re all fucking awesome. And on top of that there are some incredible character works here as you really believe what these characters transform into by the end of the movie; and it is NOT a pleasant sight, let me tell you hwhat. Basically a better David Ayer movie than anything David Ayer will make.
