Tropa de Elite (2007)
This movie will make you think, then it will make you angry, then you will want to fight.

The movie tells the story of BOPE, which is equivalent to the SWAT in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Only difference is that, in Rio, the police is so corrupt, that they often must fight for themselves.
The movie has action - a lot of action-, and it also touches on deep sociological problems that plague the city to these days. It's a great compliment to City of God and, in my opinion, even better. City of God shows how the drug problem started in Rio. This movie shows where the city is now.
Vagner Moura is perfect in his role. He's a great good-bad guy. The movie is brilliant.
