Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
For nearly two hours, Padilha bombards viewers with senseless, sickening violence for its own sake.
– V.A. Musetto,
New York Post,
19 Sep 2008
rotten:
Elite Squad is a relentlessly ugly, unpleasant, often incoherent assault on the senses from Brazil.
– Manohla Dargis,
New York Times,
19 Sep 2008
rotten:
Elite Squad can't decide whether it wants to pull the lid back on what urban decay has wrought or simply open up a can of whup ass.
– David Fear,
Time Out New York,
17 Sep 2008
fresh:
[Jose Padilha] recariously pitches the squad's brute force as less a necessary evil than the outgrowth of an existing evil -- a no-win situation that mocks liberal ideals and warps conservative pragmatism into domestic terrorism.
– Jim Ridley,
Village Voice,
17 Sep 2008
fresh:
It bears a resemblance to viscerally exciting seventies urban thrillers like The French Connection, in which only the fascists could do what needed to be done.
