9. Elite Squad & Elite Squad: The Enemy Within

The biggest box office successes of a country need not be also considered its best movies. But the Elite Squad duology is an exception to that rule. A major commercial success in its home country Brazil upon release. It also managed to strike a chord with the critics even though the first movie certainly divided them. Based on Elite de Tropa, a book written by actual former Brazilian special ops team members, the two movies are a semi-fictional take on the BOPS team.

Elite Squad did draw controversy for glamorizing police brutality in Brazil. The sequel, Elite Squad: The Enemy Within, though more that elevates the duology. For once, the sequel justifies its existence as it addresses many of the major concerns raised about the first movie. A great look at the fast-paced drug culture that is rampant in Brazil and the people who tasked with dealing with it.
