“Stunning…wildly entertaining.”
—Robert Koehler, Variety

"A thumping modern policier with a social-conscience edge."
—Trevor Johnston, Time Out London

One of the hottest directors on the international scene is Brazil's Padilha, whose exciting yet thoroughly intelligent approach to action-based drama has garnered awards and critical acclaim, not to mention box-office success. No need to have seen his earlier international hit ELITE SQUAD to take this stand-alone sequel’s wild ride into the heart of double-crossing police corruption in the slums of Rio. A bungled mission to stop a prison riot results in police captain Nascimento taking the fall, and, to his surprise, getting kicked upstairs. Mounting a citywide campaign against crime and the drug trade using the department’s elite SWAT team as a battering ram, he makes the dangerous discovery that the top cops are the problem rather than the solution. In Portuguese with English subtitles. 35mm. (BS)
