"Different"
4 stars"

This was very different to the first movie, and I enjoyed them both in different ways. While the first Raid felt nearly like a survival/horror with everyone fighting desperately to live, this sequel has much more of a story and a different feel to it. While I don't think they topped the final fight scene in the first Raid, the choreography was still excellent. The violence is definitely more graphic than in the first, and in a couple of places nearly unnecessary. However still an excellent martial arts movie. The car chase scene was one of my favourites

Wow. Such a good sequel. Takes the original story and shunts it into a new direction. Awesome.

Description

The Raid 2 is a 2014 Indonesian martial arts crime action film written and directed by Gareth Evans, packaged on DVD.

He thought it was over. After fighting his way out of a building filled with gangsters and madmen – a fight that left the bodies of police and gangsters alike piled in the halls – rookie Jakarta cop Rama thought it was done and he could resume a normal life. He couldn't have been more wrong. Formidable though they may have been, Rama's opponents in that fateful building were nothing more than small fish swimming in a pond much larger than he ever dreamed possible. And his triumph over the small fry has attracted the attention of the predators farther up the food chain. His family at risk, Rama has only one choice to protect his infant son and wife: He must go undercover to enter the criminal underworld himself and climb through the hierarchy of competing forces until it leads him to the corrupt politicians and police pulling the strings at the top of the heap. And so Rama begins a new odyssey of violence, a journey that will force him to set aside his own life and history and take on a new identity as the violent offender “Yuda.” In prison he must gain the confidence of Uco – the son of a prominent gang kingpin – to join the gang himself, laying his own life on the line in a desperate all-or-nothing gambit to bring the whole rotten enterprise to an end.

The Raid 2 Movie Reviews

“Every jobbing action movie director in Hollywood should immediately throw in the towel and concede defeat. A new bar has been set… A hyper-stylish, widescreen study of corruption, criminality and close family bonds that threaten to implode at every treacherous turn… A bloody ballet that will prove too gory for some, but hypnotic to fans of high-intensity action… Features one of the most complex and downright thrilling car chases ever committed to film, a work of such skill that it will literally leave your jaw dropped like a sideshow clown awaiting a ping-pong ball down the gullet… Cult glory is assured… it deserves a place among any landmark action film that has pushed the genre forward since its inception… Bigger, bloodier and better… action aficionados are set to be gobsmacked.” James Jennings, Empire

“One of the great sequels in recent history… The action sequences are simply unreal; bigger, faster, and more lethal than in The Raid… the film looks incredible.” Examiner

“A carefully crafted martial arts extravaganza… endlessly inventive… there is beauty in its brutality” The Telegraph UK

“Bigger and bloddier… a sprawling epic… polished filmmaking… truly audacious action choreography… the most invigorating action movie I've seen in years” The Verge

“A spectacular crescendo of ultraviolence… Good luck finding a modern martial-arts epic that can even hold a candle to it.” Film.com

The Raid 2 makes most American action films look like the over-edited stunt-doubled CGI-laden child's play that they are.” The Playlist
