Joao Guilherme Araujo Schimidt Elite Squad is a movie about mafia and cops, but not just about it, the movie pass the good versus bad, is a sophisticate analysis of Brazilian society. Made with a strong social sense about politics and realistic habits, the history shows how compress is solve the corruption in Brazil. The main point is about two opposite men, Coronel Nascimento and congressman Diogo Fraga, Nascimento is head of elite squad BOPE, a no limit group of cops, and Fraga is human rights teacher. They are opposite in methodology, but achieve the same goal, destroy a systematic corruption of money and power. The movies exposure the corruption of police, NGO, Congress and everyone, the best point the movies shows is about how complex the system of corruption and power is, and how the status quo protect the bad guys from justice. Padilha, the director made a movie to show the obvious, but it is exactly why this is one of the best Brazilian movies about society.
Alex Silva Unlike the first, Elite Squad 2 undertakes a comprehensive analytical power. Analyzes the close relationship between the drug trade, militia, media, police and politics. Unless police operations and dynamics of war, it is scan the hidden links of the institutions, the reality beyond ideology, molecular operations that support the operation of the "system" the haggling, the conspiracies, political alliances, trafficking in influence, bribes, the television manipulations, the financing of election campaigns, yacht trips washed down with whiskey and program mulatto. Action film with elements of melodrama and political cinema, Elite Squad 2 does not shock as the predecessor, that raw and vibrant exhibition of the "dirty work" done in the name of society, but in turn deepens the analysis and, despite the limitations, reaches its targets.
WalterSoprano But before watching this you have to watch the first even though the stories aren't really too connected. In my book this is tied with city of god for best foreign crime film. And for crime films of all time for me this film also takes a spot in my top 15 best crime films of all time.This film takes the same aspects from the first films and does that and then some I rated the first film as a 9 but is close to a 10 but I find this film more superior as far as story and complexity and even tragedy giving this film an easy 10/10. But when it comes to overall stories of corruption of cops and politicians this film takes the number one place.Pretty much anybody could enjoy this film as long as you aren't to squeamish with violence. But the film has believable characters and a story that seems real but isn't. Anybody who does read this review I highly recommend this film for a watch but of course only if you have seen the first.
Bruno Posse I Must say that after the great success this movie achieved in Brazil, The sequel I was expecting, was a B list movie filmed just to capitalize the franchise "Tropa de Elite" and to cash in the largest amount of money the producers could possibly do.I couldn't be more wrong!This movie is so much better than the first! Wagner Moura acting was just flawless, the plot is completely well connected and actually, no movie made me sit on my sofa wondering what would happen in the end in a very long time.10/10
