Tropa de Elite 2 (Elite Squad 2) is already a huge sucess in Brazil. Almost 5 million people saw the  writer-director José Padilha’s new film, according to O Globo, more than for Spider-Man, Harry Potter or Titanic. The film, which has already brought in US$  17.3 million equivalent, will be shown at the Sundance and Berlin film festivals in 2011. More complex than the first Elite Squad, the sequel may present difficulties for those unfamiliar with the public safety issues and the changes taking place in Rio de Janeiro.
