If you loved Tropa de Élite 2, try Tropa de Élite
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by José Padilha, and they both carry the foreign gem, paranoid mood tags, and they sit in Action / Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Tropa de Élite 2, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Tropa de Élite is
Rio slum, pre-dawn, police sirens echoing. A BOPE captain, a rookie, and a morally ambiguous mission to secure the pope's visit. Padilha brings the favelas to life.
