Elite Squad: The Enemy Within (Tropa de Elite 2 - O Inimigo Agora É Outro) (2010)

This Brazilian “sequel” is far superior to the original. The plot is defined from the beginning and unfolded in a competent manner. Characters are well developed and portrayed by solid actors. Oftentimes movies about police and political corruption cast too small a net. Here, the connections of all key players are expertly woven into a single narrative. It’s a very brave film that tells a difficult story, while entertaining at the same time. No easy feat.

Rating: B
