Movie Trailer: Elite Squad (Tropa De Elite)
This trailer gives me motion sickness. If this is any indication of the camera work in the film overall, epileptics should avoid this movie like the plague. Between the flashing and quick editing you'll be seized up in minutes.

Even though this looks like some grainy pro-fascist paramilitary film it probably has more depth than one may think. Written by Bráulio Mantovani, I'm sure this will have some potent scenes and tense situations. The movie follows the men of Rio de Janeiro's BOPE (Special Police Operation Battalion) as they move to clear a slum of drug dealers prior to the Pope's visit in 1997. I'm looking forward to another trailer so I can get a better feel for the movie.
