Viewing Notes
A brilliant sequel to the original Elite Squad, I’ve been anticipating watching this for quite some time. So I was happy to discover it’d recently been added to Netflix Instant in HD.
Though it’s still filled with violence, it felt less violent than Elite Squad, probably due to the fact that the main focus of Enemy Within is political corruption instead of police corruption and drug gangs (though both of those are heavy plot factors).
If you haven’t seen either, it’s worth watching them back-to-back.
