About Elite Squad: The Enemy Within

Elite Squad: The Enemy Within is a gripping and intense Brazilian crime thriller that takes a hard look at corruption and violence in Rio de Janeiro. Directed by José Padilha, the film is a sequel to the 2007 hit Elite Squad and stars Wagner Moura as Captain Nascimento, a tough and uncompromising police officer who is forced to confront his own demons as he battles drug lords and corrupt politicians.

The film is a powerful indictment of the Brazilian government's failure to address the root causes of crime and violence in Rio de Janeiro, and it pulls no punches in its portrayal of the brutality and corruption that pervade the city. The action sequences are intense and visceral, and the performances are top-notch, particularly Moura's portrayal of Nascimento as a man torn between his duty to uphold the law and his desire to protect his family.

Elite Squad: The Enemy Within was a critical and commercial success in Brazil, and it won the Golden Bear award at the 2011 Berlin International Film Festival. It is a must-see for fans of gritty crime dramas and anyone interested in the complex social and political issues facing Brazil today.
