Storyline
After a bloody invasion of the BOPE in the High-Security Penitentiary Bangu 1 in Rio de Janeiro to control a rebellion of interns, the Lieutenant-Colonel Roberto Nascimento and the second in command Captain André Matias are accused by the Human Right Aids member Diogo Fraga of execution of prisoners. Matias is transferred to the corrupted Military Police and Nascimento is exonerated from the BOPE by the Governor. However, due to the increasing popularity of Nascimento, the Governor invites him to team-up with the intelligence area of the Secretary of Security. Along the years, Fraga, who is married with Nascimento's former wife, is elected State Representative and Nascimento's son Rafael has issues with his biological father. Meanwhile Nascimento and the BOPE expel the drug dealers from several slums but another enemy arises: the militia led by Major Rocha and supported by the Governor, the Secretary of Security and politicians interested in votes. Nascimento is manipulated to help ...User Reviews
Padilha has definitely
excelled himself... instead of going into the usual and expected cliché
of making a sequel with the exact same formula as the first movie, he
goes out of the box and makes a wonderful, completely new, movie. If you
are one of those movie fans who would like to see a reproduction of the
first movie, who is eager to hear famous lines such as "você é um
moleque" or "pede pra sair" once again coming out of Capitão
Nascimento's mouth, who wants to see more and more torture, more and
more violence. Forget about all of that... this movie has nothing of the
sort. Of course there is a lot of shootings, and some torture scenes,
but they are nothing compared to the ones in the first movie, they are
quick and do not show as much! But do not let this keep you from
watching this movie. In fact, what makes this sequel so special is that
it doesn't even feel like a sequel, it feels more like a SAGA, Capitão
Nascimento's SAGA, his quest for justice and against crime. Its a deeper
voyage into Nascimento's feelings and also into the inner workings of
the CRIME machine. Its a more mature and better developed movie which
will make you think. It will make you angry, and it will make you mad...
but in the end it will make you want to cry out loud: GO CAPITÃO
NASCIMENTOOOOOOO!!! And cheer for him!
