The story of “Elite Squad 2″ is a little different from the first film, even though there are many actors in the cast which were present in the first film. The film is about how the war the BOPE and Captain Nascimento (Wagner Moura) has fought against the drug lords changed, and that the real enemy of the BOPE and of the security of Rio de Janeiro is the actual military policy and the politicians who are providing and encouraging means for corruption and crime to occur.
The script it extremely well written, making the story highly captivating and making the audience with their eyes glued towards the screen. The second film had a much higher budget than the first film, and everything was heavily worked on so that it would be a success (because we all know that sequels tend to be awfully weak in several cases). The first film was very well received by critics, having won the Golden Bear in Berlin and being one of the highest grossing films in Brazilian history.
I do not know when the film will come out internationally, but I managed to find a trailer which provides subtitles which is great for all those of my readers who are not fluent in portuguese.
