Hmm... EVERYONE was talking about this movie lately... There was even a pirate copy floating around before the official release (it's not in most movie theaters yet). It will surely be at the Oscar 2008 as well. I watched it last night and I have no other word to describe it: KICKASS! Like someone described, it's like a brazilian version of "The Shield". One of best action movies this year, if not the best. Little more info at www.imdb.com/title/tt0861739/

I saw one scene from it on youtube, I thought it was a little exagerated at first, but then I realized that it wasn't. I gotta watch it soon.

You can't miss it... I need to watch Cidade dos Homens now... The trailer was awesome. EDIT: there's the official trailer at youtube. If I have time, and if nobody has done this yet, I'll post it with english subtitles.

I can only concur with this gentleman. Nascimento, Neto, Matias and the whole B.O.P.E. squad is a group of badasses. Most reviewers agree with the directors view of point how corrupt policemen are in Rio. But there are lots of other sideplots in this movie. Everyone should really check it out. Keep especially an eye on Nascimento. Because in my opinion, he is one of the meanest characters I've ever seen on the screen.

I saw this movie once. In school! The last days before the end of the year, my Philosophy teacher said that we could watch whichever movie we'd like. It's actually quite good, and yes, those guys are the definition of badass.

ah... if there will be a sequel it just can't be better than the original... unless they make it a "Capt. Nascimento vs Chuck Norris" special.

I don't know about you guys, but this movie had a bit too much testosterone for my taste.

yeah, that's what makes the difference between good and bad movies/games: testosterone levels.
