Grupo 7 (2012; Alberto Rodriguez / Rafael Cobos)

Satisfying police procedurals in both film and television have been pretty thin on the ground since Law & Order and The Wire. Rephrase: “satisfying English–language police procedurals”. After the edge–of–your–seat one–two–combination of the Brazilian Tropa de Elite films comes this Spanish feature that reminds me of La Scorta with a streak of The Shield.

Very nice. Very nice indeed.
