Elite Squad 2
Dirty cops and determined drug dealers go head to head in Elite Squad 2, José Padilha’s explosive sequel to… Elite Squad. The simple plot line doesn’t disrupt Padilha’s game plan: a flurry of non-stop bullets and brawn that drive his real subject, the corruption of the Brazilian government. Starring Wagner Moura as Roberto Nascimento, one of the few incorruptibles, the film broke the box office, becoming the most successful Brazilian film of the 21st century.
