I heard Elite Squad 2 was doing well at Sundance, so I thought I’d check out the first one. It's a gritty, violent drama about the gang ruled favelas, corrupt cops, and an elite squad of vigilante cops. Quite topical considering the recent attempts being made to clean up the favelas prior to the summer Olympics in Rio. Nothing will ever compare to the best film of the last decade, City of God, but it's worth renting.
