Watched this Saturday night at the Hawaii International Film Festival with English Subtitles. One bad ass movie and in my own opinon better than the first. It got Brazilian Special Forces, Brazilian Judo and Jiu jitsu! Saw some guys from tournaments and classes. All voted movie two thumbs up! Can't wait for the blu-ray.

The biggest film in South American cinema history, ELITE SQUAD 2: THE ENEMY WITHIN sees revered Lieutenant-Colonel Roberto Nascimento and his second in command André Matias 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. Adding to this are his troubles at home, as his ex-wife is now married to the newly elected State Representative and his thirteen year-old son is becoming increasingly estranged from his intense and emotionally distant father.
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.

WOO HOO!!!
Large marge sent me - ^ last year lol? Or are they rereleasing it this year?
Re-release in USA on November 11, 2011. Regal / Dole planning to use IMAX. I saw it in the regular theater and it was crazy. I can't imagine it being on a bigger screen with 25,000 watts of surround sound.
nothing like being in the car in Brazil with my family and having the Bope's (Elite troop) pull up next to you, your butthole just puckers up and nobody looks at them, no eye contact at all, cause they can just pull you over and hassle the shit out of you. they're some badass fawkers.. you need to really live it to appreciate the movie.

I will just believe it without experiencing it. If you can, can you translate what Rickson is saying in the second video / post. Thank you in advance.
