“Tropa de Elite 2” opens with Human Rights activist Diago Fraga (Irandhir Santos) holding a lecture on how wrong it is putting criminals in prison, where the bad guys just turn worse -- while Nascimento’s voice-over complains about all the naive left-wing intellectuals (i.e. Fraga), who don’t understand that the ruthless criminals have to be exterminated.

This is intercut with a riot in a prison which ends in a blood bath. Matias is relegated while Nascimento is made a hero and receives a top position within Brazilian intelligence.

A mass collection of great photos of various weapons of war. You name it, this site has it. How about a triple barreled revolver? Ever seen one? Very cool photographs with plenty of discussion about these awesome pics.

Action movies with convoluted plots. Action movies that don’t make you go “Wow! Cool!”, but “Wait a sec, what the hell is going on here?”. What’s worse than that?
If you watch a Steven Seagal movie, you watch it because you want to see Seagal in action, baddies threatening or killing people close to Seagal, leading to Seagal killing everybody in sight.

In “Pistol Whipped”, directed by Dutchman Roel Reiné, who went on to direct “The Marine 2” and “Death Race 2”, and released in Scandinavia as “The Marker”, Steven Seagal is Matt Conlin -- an ex-cop with mysterious past.
