A rare sequel that builds upon (and even surpasses) its predecessor

Fantastic sequel to Elite Squad (2007) that is more intelligent, action-packed and gripping. The film joins as City of God (2002) as one of the most realistic portrayals of Rio de Janeiro ever put to film, taking its viewers to the true darkness and corruption that exists in the depths of the city. With a more direct focus on the politics and social issues that make up "the system" and added depth to the character of Capitão Nascimento, Elite 2 is the definition of a worthy sequel that is able to build upon (and even surpass) its predecessor. Surpreendente!
