New Showbiz Analysis

Kamarád do deště II. – Příběh z Brooklynu functions as a typical crime drama of the post-communist era. It prioritizes gritty genre realism and plot-driven tension over any engagement with diverse identities or social critique. The film relies heavily on established archetypes, particularly regarding gender and social roles. While it delves into darker human elements like the drug trade and revenge, it does so within a very narrow, homogeneous framework. Ultimately, the work lacks the complexity needed to challenge traditional social or racial hierarchies, functioning instead as a localized crime narrative with minimal diversity.

Official Synopsis

The main characters left their original professions of waiter and taxi driver and rented a thriving disco Brooklyn. However, their peaceful life is disrupted by the con man Kadlec, who has not forgotten that it was they who put him behind bars two years ago. All this time, all he's been thinking about is revenge. The formerly petty crook, with the help of his accomplices, his son-in-law Buresh and fellow prisoner "The Engineer", joins the drug trade and begins his revenge. Michal is arrested for the rape of a girl he has never seen in his life, and it doesn't take much for Tomas to figure out that Kadlec is behind it all. What Tomas also doesn't realise for a long time is that the sympathetic Ivana, who has joined their business and with whom he has fallen in love, also works as a luxury prostitute and was put into the business by Kadlec.
