ahhh... great movie. Appeals to the darker side of men.

We all want to believe that somewhere, some men are uncorruptable, and are manly enough to cut through ridiculous beauracracy and dispense justice with extreme prejudice. There is something appealing about being utterly ruthless, using evil to combat evil.

Even if the effort is futile and part of a self-perpetuating problem, it still feels pretty damn good.

I was amazed something as utterly ruthless as the BOPE squad actually exists. wow. Great movie that raised alot of questions about drugs, society, law, justice, etc, etc, etc.

"Operation Holiness" LOL, ahh, that is the greatest name for something since "Project Mayhem".

Nah you didn't fix anything, you just came off sounding like some feminist twat.

Well, this movie certainly has a healthy dose of machismo in it and it is absolutely unapologetic about it. I can think of no American/European movie that would show men act like that.
