a5c7b9f00b 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.
Only a short time after the first raid, Rama goes undercover with the thugs of Jakarta and plans to bring down the syndicate and uncover the corruption within his police force.
After reading all the reviews on this film I came to ask one question. Before I ask the question i just want to say that most reviews were dead on giving this film a 10 out of 10. I know that reviews are opinion not fact. However this film was absolutely INCREDIBLE. The 1st film was amazing and set a new standard for martial art films and action films. It set the bar really high. It had great acting and a really good plot too. Then comes the sequel and literally blows IMO of course the 1st film out of the water in EVERY single aspect. This movie had a great, plot great acting, but the choreography &amp; stunt work was absolutely on a league of it&#39;s own. I have never seen in any action or martial arts film with the level of incredible stunt work and just brutal fighting in any other film. Most martial arts films (I&#39;ve seen A BUNCH BTW) have great choreography and stunt work yet there imo is something always missing like a decent plot or it&#39;s campy. This has none of those. Also most leave out a lot of the absolute brutality. A fair warning this is probably the most brutal fighting film I&#39;ve seen.<br/><br/>So back to my question almost every reviewer gave it 10 out 10. I&#39;m just wondering for those who didn&#39;t. What isn&#39;t perfect about this sequel? What does it take to impress you? Could you do better? There isn&#39;t imo another action film like this at all. Again I&#39;ve seen a lot. I try to avoid the cheesy films. Yet I can&#39;t believe these people have seen a better martial arts film or action film. I would like to know what the name of it is. So I can see for myself. There is no down side if you like the first and if you like violent martial arts films with gangster mafia style movies as well this hits them all. I doubt any of the people who worked on this film will ever read this but if you do Bravo gentlemen. Give yourselves a hand and a pat on the back.<br/><br/>As one reviewer said it became his favorite martial arts film ever &amp; I would have to agree. The ending battle ALONE is worth the price of admission it is EPIC. Look at me I&#39;m gushing like I&#39;m schoolgirl. If you haven&#39;t seen this film yet and you want to. Stop what you&#39;re doing go buy this film don&#39;t rent BUY IT. Then show it to all your friends so they can BUY it as well. Standing Ovation on this side folks.
I watched and was highly entertained by the original Indonesian film, I was most interested that there would be a sequel, almost more so because it was rated an extra star higher than the predecessor, I hoped it would live up to what the critics said. Basically following the events in the derelict apartment building in the heart of the slums, where police and gangsters alike were slaughtered and bodies piled in the halls, the sole survivor is rookie Jakarta cop Rama (Iko Uwais), he thought it was all over and could return to a normal life. However he finds out that the criminal opponents in the building were only small fish compared to the larger ones still out to stop, his actions and the triumph of the police force has attracted the attention of criminal predators in the hierarchy of gangland, as the only man left alive his family, his infant son and wife, are in danger. Rama&#39;s only choice is to go undercover in the criminal underworld, by posing as a criminal himself, routing his way around the competing forces and find the corrupt politicians and police officer pulling the strings and threatening the peace, therefore Rama takes on the persona of violent offender &quot;Yuda&quot;, forcing him to leave behind his personal life and history, starting with a stint is prison where he mingles with the other inmates to gain their trust. In prison it is his mission to gain the confidence of Uco (Arifin Putra), the son of a prominent gang kingpin, and eventually out of the cell he is accepted as part of the gang, and slowly Rama lays his life on the line and manoeuvres ever closer to the head honcho. Rama is found out as an undercover police officer and has no choice but to battle his way through the enemy warehouse and various security guards, gangsters, criminals and killers to get out alive, the film ends with him killing Uco and all his thugs, those who placed him in this situation look ready to send him on another assignment, but he states that he is done. Also starring Tio Pakusodewo as Bangun, Oka Antara as Eka, Alex Abbad as Bejo, Yayan Ruhian as Prakoso, Julie Estelle as Alicia &#39;Hammer Girl&#39;, Cok Simbara as Bunawar, Kenichi Endô as Hideaki Goto, Ryûhei Matsuda as Keichi, Donny Alamsyah as Andi, Very Tri Yulisman as Baseball Bat Man and Cecep Arif Rahman as The Assassin. Whereas the first film was simply just a raid in a building, this has more of a feel similar to The Godfather, in that is not just a mission to defeat the villains, it is a complex power struggle to bring down the kingpins. You could argue that this sequel is a bit more chatty, and it is perhaps a bit longer than it needs to be, an hour and a half to be precise, but is doesn&#39;t matter too much, what makes this film what it is a B-movie feel, with its great high octane martial arts fight sequences, many variety of gun and metal weapons all over the place, and of course much more bloody ultra violence with the hero essentially ripping up the bad guys, an entertaining and inventive action thriller. Very good!
“The Raid” was a great action film in which the violence, excessive though it was, served as obstacles in the hero’s simple quest. In Raid 2 the violence is the movie, its excess used to cover for an inept story, thinly-drawn characters and dead spots.
No. While the first film has two score versions (the original Indonesian by Aria Prayogi and Fajar Yuskemal and the international release by Mike Shinoda and Joseph Trapanese), The Raid 2 will only have one version by Joseph Trapanese, Aria Prayogi, and Fajar Yuskemal. Mad Dog is dead, but the actor Yayan Ruhian will be back as a new character, an honourable assassin named Prakoso. No, he&#39;s not Mad Dog&#39;s twin. He&#39;s a different character entirely. After The Raid got its &quot;R&quot; rating only after the MPAA got its 2 demanded cuts, it&#39;s just a matter of consequence that the sequel had to face a similar fate. Even before it hit US cinemas, Gareth Evans admitted via Twitter that cuts had to be made, although he was very happy with the amount of the alterations that only affected frames. In general, you&#39;d be wise to take such descriptions with a grain of salt when they come from an involved person but Evans&#39; statement turned out to be pretty accurate.
