Saw this film in the cinema last year. Did not expect much being a foreign movie.After 5 minutes the action began and it was like a runaway train with none stop thrills and spills,not to mention the body count. The music in the background added to the action.The actors all unknown,played their parts well without any ham acting.

The biggest film in South American cinema history, Elite Squad: The Enemy Within sees revered Lieutenant-Colonel Roberto Nascimento (Wagner Moura) and his second in command Aspirante Matias (Andre Ramiro) facing battles both on the streets and within the corrupt political system of Rio de Janeiro. Following the bloody aftermath of a disastrously handled prison riot, Nascimento gets caught in a bloody political dispute that involves not only government officials, but also the deadly paramillitary groups known as the milicias. Featuring scenes of breathtaking action and compelling drama, José Padilha's critically acclaimed blockbuster is based on a blend of intense research and real events, presenting a devastating vision of modern Rio and one man's fight against the system.
José Padilha writes and directs this Brazilian political thriller, a sequel to his acclaimed 2007 film 'Tropa de Elite'. 13 years on from the events of the first film, Roberto Nascimento (Wagner Moura) has been promoted to the position of Lieutenant in the special forces. When he attempts to overhaul the service and launch a new war on drug crime, he soon finds that the real threat to society comes not from the dealers, but from the corrupt police and politicians who exploit the poor to line their own pockets.
