Operações Especiais

I have to admit, the ending was rather abrupt, it almost seemed it was a set up for a sequel. Nitpick aside, I thought that was good movie. The main character's someone you can easily get behind. She's strong, isn't perfect but does get better as the movie progresses, and is pretty professional. She becomes pretty damn good at her job.

It's amazing what her co-Worker's put her through. No shortage is sexism in the office. Thankfully, they do come around, and one guy who was rooting for her the whole time, proves to be an invaluable friend.

The action scenes are pretty cool. It really feels like you're in the middle of the chaos. There're a lot of first-person views during the shootouts. They really capture the gritty feel of the hood.

As for the rest of the characters, they're pretty good too. Some are funny, a few are one note, but for the most part, the important ones are pretty well defined.

If you like movies in Portuguese and police dramas/action, then, this's for you.

I really liked the movie to begin with. The acting and pace is good, but you really never get an answer to why the things happen in the movie.

The cops seem to run around trying to solve a big cover-up. What this cover-up really is we are never told, and we are introduced to a lot of characters, but we never get to know why the act as they do.

Instead of a great thriller we see the cops running around solving mini-missions in order to get to the bad guy, but we never get a follow-up to why all these missions lead them to him. It tries to be an exciting action thriller but it never gets exciting because the audience is just sitting there confused.

Great potential, but very poor sinopsis.

I must share that this is a good movie. Brazil action movie quality has improved much in the last few years and this movie is currently rated top 5 on "AdoroCinema" Brazilian action movies, a website focused on Brazilian movies.

There is some decent action scenes, but that is not the main message. The message is around handling bias and corruption, two topics which are very popular today in the media. There is no extremist visions or commentary around it. It's straight to the point, has good character development and has a decent ending, which is something most movies lack these days.

The best action movie ever from Brazil was Elite Squad, if you have not seen it yet. Elite Squad storyline was made by geniuses. This is a very good movie, but not Elite Squad quality.

It has been a long time since I haven´t seen such an horrible movie. I know only Brazilians will watch it and still it is just a lame excuse for a ridiculous attempt to copy Tropa de Elite.

Acting is horrible, even those of professional actors. History is risible, a Tropa de Elite for kids that will soon be shown at Globo at noon. Special effects are like those we are used to see in amateur youtube movies and in Globo soap operas.

If you want an ironic laugh like watching Manos the Hands of Fate, this movie is fot you, otherwise stay away of this putrid excrement.

I was really expecting a movie like Tropa de Elite 1 and 2 with a lot of violence and you following some strong character that kick the ass of everyone. Well the movie it's not that.

I don't want to give spoil but the movie work well, you can predict somethings how ever the end is still very entertaining.

I will give it a 9/10, because some actor aren't that good so at some points this can drop the tension and you feel like watching a B Movie of some sort.

If you have nothing to watch, give it a try, the story works well, it's realistic specially if you are from Brazil, and it uses real events that happened in Brazil as a part of the movie and this makes it even better to watch if you are Brazilian.
