1. Tropa de Elite 2 (7.5)
The “Tropa de Elite 2” plot resolves around the maturing Lt Col. Nascimento, who, after a disastrous BOPE operation on a prison riot, gets caught in a bloody political dispute that involves not only the Public Safety Department, the State governor and State Military Police, but also paramilitary groups known as milícias. The movie also shows the family issues of Nascimento, with his now adolescent son gradually moving away from him due to his job and the influence of his stepfather. (from Wikipedia)
This movie left me feeling uneasy from beginning to end. The amount of violence is almost unbearable to watch mainly because I know that it is a reality and not just some over-the-top Hollywood action schmuck. The plot was solid and the acting was superb by most of the cast, however I think that the movie suffers a little from the high expectations set on the first. Then again, it felt more like a documentary than an action movie to be completely honest. Enjoyable experience throughout, even though it left me with a bad taste afterwards.
