"Elite Squad: The Enemy Within:" easily one of the best films of the year and unlike anything you'd see coming

Posted by tinear on February 27, 2012 at 16:46:48:
out here: it has balls.
In the first film, "Elite Squad" we met Captain Nascimento, the leader of the anti-drug BOPE cop force with unlimited power to destroy the drug cartels plaguing Rio. He elevates two trusted childhood friends to his force and they fiercely go about their business. In this sequel, far better than that action-fest, the explosions begin right after the credits: a special security prison housing the top 40 drug criminals is in full-riot mode. One group has armed itself and systematically is erasing its rivals. But this isn't just a cops vs bad guys. Soon, we see that the success of the police, though it leads to quieter ghetto streets, also also means an enslavement of the ghetto population to a more insidious force that uses their submission to influence political power.
This is a blockbuster film that pulls no punches.
If you think the situation is very different here, you haven't paid attention.
This is real filmmaking. Yes, entertaining, but also with something vital and critical to say. Unlike "The Godfather" series, this one doesn't sanctify evil.
