Rota Commando has a good script and it's a very entertaining film. I couldn't believe when I saw the 4.2 rate, but then I noticed that only 32 viewers had rated this movie. It's a story told from the point of view of a policeman, it's based on his book, so it's not surprising that the movie is not focused in the abuses committed by the Brazilian security forces, which are quite spread in the news and social networks. Maybe this is a reason to the so low IMDb rating since it glorifies that specific police work. The main flaw of the film is the terrible sound, sometimes too high and sometimes too low, but this is in a way understandable, since it's an independent production. The acting, IN SOME SITUATIONS, is also not so good. All in all, it's a good movie and I rate it 8.

The weak point of this movie is the absurdity of the story itself, it's so unreal that the film could never "catch me" into it. Of course that my preferences have a huge importance in this affirmation and I am not a fan of this kind of comics.

Although the story wasn't engaging at all, the film has a great cast and the interpretations are very good.

With a story so unreal the film is watchable due to its nice action scenes - it's really great in special effects. I give it a 6 out of 10.

Positive - saved by cinematography, action scenes and interpretations

Negative - a totally unreal story, but it may be good for fiction comics fans.
