Synopsis

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.

Critics' reviews

It was until 2016 the biggest success ever in the brazilian cinema history: more than 11,1 million people watched the film. The film Os Dez Mandamentos - O Filme is now the biggest

FilmAffinity
"A fast-paced, hard-hitting Brazilian police thriller (...) The violence is less relentless than in the first movie, but it still packs a visceral charge"

Stephen Farber: The Hollywood Reporter
"Entertaining (...) Except for Mr. Moura’s Nascimento, the movie doesn’t have the same richness of characters. Psychologically he is the whole show; the rest are stereotypes."

Stephen Holden: The New York Times
"A marked improvement on the first film, it's easy to see why this was such a smash in Brazil. Breathless, brutal and thrilling, it's a gut punch of an action movie (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Philip Wilding: Empire
"This is a good film, not great. Too little attention is paid to the complexities and personalities of the characters (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: rogerebert.com
"[A] bustling, gritty sequel (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

Xan Brooks: The Guardian
