Director José Padilha, apparently deeply affected by this (unfortunately unambiguous) characterization of his film as a right-wing recruiting film for BOPE, has since caught David Simon fever and, in this visually-impressive potboiler sequel, has imported much of The Wire's (arguably incoherent) rage against "The System" by systematically staging its most appalling characteristics... as high-art, "realistic" drama.
