The Elite Squad (Tropa De Elite) Wagner Moura 2009 New DVD Top-quality

Elite Squad presents an astonishing and intimate look at Rio de Janeiros vast and intricate web of police corruption. It is 1997 and hundreds of thousands live in Rios notorious favelasthe volatile slums on the edge of the city. Drug trafficking militias have complete control within the slums while the police run their criminal enterprises outside. Being an honest cop in this environment makes you a target for both. The elite BOPE force (State Police Special Operations Battalion) fights to combat drug trafficking, but keeping order has its price and their actions blur the line between right and wrong, justice and revenge. Two of the forces newest recruits, Neto (Caio Junqueira) and Matias (Andre Ramiro), are childhood friends: one is quick on the trigger to maintain order and the other forced to compromise his ideals. Together they are the perfect replacement for outgoing BOPE Captain Nascimento, but alone they may not have what it takes to survive.
