Tropa de Elite 2

Corrupt politicians and drug dealers live side by side in prisons and favelas in Rio de Janeiro. In Tropa de Elite 2, we follow the popular but aging Colonel Lieutenant Nascimento. He leads a group of elite soldiers in the Brazilian military police. They try their best to clean up the city streets where the numerous drug gangs claim their territory. After a disastrous operation during a prison riot, Nascimento gets drawn into an entirely different sort of mission. Now he must deal with the political power struggle in which thoroughly corrupt and power-loving politicians are doing everything they can to promote their own interests. With Tropa de Elite director José Padilha won the 2008 Golden Bear in Berlin. The sequel to this Brazilian audience success is now finally here. red
