Elite Squad - The Enemy Within: DVD Review

Rating: M
Released by Madman

Brazilian thriller which took their box office by storm,this blazing scorching flick sees its protagonist Nascimento taking on the corrupt system which is serving the police, the criminals and the slum gang lords rather than the innocent.

However,he takes on all those who're intent on serving themselves rather than the Rio populace.It starts with a high energy police siege within jail and ends with Nascimento being apparently shot to pieces in a car.

Throw in scenes of helicopters flying up over kids playing footy and it's like the A Team on steroids. The macho posturing and blasting soundtrack makes this an action film which will appeal to many; Wagner Moura's steely determination is a great foil against the corrupt regional cops and the tension keeps it all blazing - as well as the guns too.

The energy levels are pacy and with a pounding soundtrack,this is a high octane thrill which will keep you entertained.There's hints of this sequel spawning another film but we'll have to see..

Extras: Behind the scenes, cast and crew interviews and international trailer
