Indeed, instead of developing characters through dialogue, the story is told almost entirely through brilliantly executed martial arts. The Blu-Ray disc.The Raid: Redemption was a mean, lean, ass-kicking machine, with a barebones plot that allowed for its jaw-dropping action choreography to do most of the talking. The Blu-Ray that I watched for this review.īack cover of the Blu-Ray. The Raid 2 is one of the best action movies ever made, period. Go! NOW! If you're still reading this, thank you.

I wholeheartedly recommend watching The Raid 2! If you've never seen it, stop reading this review and watch it right now. One of the best car chases ever filmed, in my opinion. There are multiple crashes, thugs gunned down, thugs run over (and it is shown), and property smashed during this chase. There is also this incredible car chase that occurs in the film! It is wild! Rama has to fight mob thugs in the back seat of an SUV while a car follows in pursuit.
REVIEW FILM THE RAID 2 BERANDAL MOVIE
I was sitting on the edge of my seat when I first watched that scene in the movie theater! Even if you don't like the plot, it's worth watching The Raid 2 for that final fight scene alone! The choreography, the setting, the music, the intensity just perfect. Of course, the final fight scene is my favorite. Good lord, the action in this movie! The fight scenes are great, from the bathroom stall fight, to the muddy riot, to the noodle shop fight and beyond, they are all excellently choreographed and intense! The fight scene with Yayan Ruhian is bloody, brutal, and sends a message that there is someone deadlier that Rama has to face. Arifin Putra, as Uco, does an excellent job playing the arrogant, impatient, ambitious mob boss's son. Iko Uwais plays his part perfectly, showing his confliction about what he is doing, but also starting to lose himself in the darkness surrounding him. Yes, the action is great in this movie, but the overall story is stellar as well. No matter what your morals and values are, they will be tested, and you will most likely abandon them. This movie shows that living in the crime world is not worth it. The characters are believable in their motivations. The Raid 2 does not disappoint! The story is deep and layered. If you thought The Raid was an intense action movie, The Raid 2 blows it out of the water! Things are tense as heck, the atmosphere is dark and brooding, the violence is bloody and gory, and the action is incredible. After some complications and tragic incidents, Rama decides to end things once and for all. Things start getting dangerous for Rama, and he does not know who to trust anymore. Uco joins forces with another mob boss, Bejo (played by Abba) to start a gang war so they can get the Japanese mob's territory. Uco is an impatient, ambitious man, and feels his father is being 'weak' (to simplify it, it's a bit more complicated than that). Bangun tells Rama to watch out for Uco, and to warn him of any weird behavior from him. Rama eventually gains the trust of the criminal organization. For this, Rama is hired by Uco's father Bangun (played by Pakusadewo) to be an enforcer and to keep an eye on Uco. Rama goes to prison (for assaulting a government official's son) and befriends one of the top mob bosses' son, Uco (played by Putra). Rama refuses at first, but after a personal tragedy, agrees to go undercover. Rama (played by Uwais) is asked to go undercover and infiltrate a gang to gather evidence against corrupt police/government officials. The Raid 2 starts off where The Raid ended.

The Raid 2 was written, directed, and edited by Gareth Evans, with fight choreography by Iko Uwais, Yayan Ruhian, and Larnell Stovall.

It stars Iko Uwais, Arifin Putra, Tio Pakusadewo, Alex Abdullah Abbad, Kenichi Endo, Oka Antara, Cecep Arif Rahman, Julie Estelle, Very Tri Yulisman, and Yayan Ruhian. The Raid 2: Berandal is an Indonesian martial arts/action/crime movie released in 2014, and is the direct sequel to The Raid. The Raid 2 is an incredible action movie!
