Rio de Janeiro. Military police and special forces raid the favelas. They kill drug dealers. Sometimes in what can be called self-defence. But sometimes it's plain murder.
Colonel Nascimento is only half-corrupt, but after what can be called a jail incident which takes many prisoners lives, he is in reality fired, but formally promoted to intelligence. After a while he understands that he's not fighting drugs. He fights the System.
If this was an American movie, it would be much talked about. The action scenes are non-choreographic, filmed with a nervous hand camera. It's a cruel brutal fairytale, but still very professional
