Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

dallasryan Saw The Raid and liked it, but then when I saw The Raid 2, I was blown away. Absolutely loved it! In my opinion the best fighting-action movie of all time. Near flawless in it's action sequences. So many good fights in this film, I felt like a kid at a candy store. The plot is actually really good too, a really good mafia film up there with some of the great mafia films. If you can handle the subtitles then strap in, and get ready to enjoy the ride of your life with this one. A must see for all film and action buffs!

sergelamarche Lots of action, fights, pursuits, shootings, a bit like Tarantino. The film has a decent story for the genre but really, I feel the pain and no exhiliration watching people getting beaten to a pulp.

Prismark10 The Raid was a lean mean action film which put Indonesian based, Welsh director Gareth Evans on the map alongside its star Iko Uwais. Several cast members went on to make cameo appearances in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.In Raid 2, Honest cop Rama (Iko Uwais) reluctantly accepts an assignment by an anti corruption unit to expose a corrupt chief of police Reza who is in league with city mobsters Bangun (Tio Pakusodewo) and Goto (Kenichi Endo.)Rama has to go deep undercover as Yuda, by being imprisoned and get close to Bangun's son Uco (Arifin Putra) which he does by saving his life in prison when a mob attacks.Two years later Yuda after being released from prison he is hired by Bangun to work in their organisation. Yuda discovers that Uco is unhappy with his father's conciliatory behaviour towards his rivals which he sees as a weakness. Goaded by a rival gang lord who is pushing Uco's buttons, Uco plans to take control of his father's gang. Yuda finds himself in great danger.The film's plot is inspired by movies such as The Departed and The Godfather. In contrast to the first film, the sequel concentrates on a story more than the action. I found it flabby and rather dull outside of the action scenes which were still frenetic and frenzied.

Takethispunch Following The Raid,[4] the film opens with Bejo, a self-made Jakarta gang lord, executing Rama's brother Andi for siding with a figure named Bangun.After the disastrous raid on crime boss Tama's apartment building, Rama meets with Bunawar, a police officer deemed honest by Andi. After executing Wahyu and sending Rama's fellow survivor Bowo to receive medical attention, Bunawar invites Rama to join a clandestine anti-corruption task force. This undercover unit seeks to expose the backroom dealings of Reza, a corrupt police commissioner, and other police leaders who are affiliated with the Bangun and Goto crime families. Rama initially declines, but later agrees to join after learning of his brother's murder and the threat Bejo poses to his family. Bunawar fakes Rama's death to protect his family from Reza and the corrupt cops, assigning Rama to infiltrate the crime world by befriending Uco, son of Bangun and heir to his criminal empire.
