The Raid 2

The Raid 2 is more ambitious than the original, with a more complex story and some of the best choreographed and directed action sequences ever made. What more could a hardcore action fan ask for?

A lot more involved than the original _Raid_ film, with a more complex story taking place over more time and in more places. Sounds great, but I think the smaller, contained tale of the original actually served the premise better. But make no mistake, _The Raid 2_ is **awesome**. It provokes more discussion than the original, and the fight scenes (which let's be honest, is 100% the reason we're all here) are **absolutely** up to specs. _Final rating:★★★½ - I really liked it. Would strongly recommend you give it your time._

Having miraculously recovered from his experiences just three year earlier, our now way more experienced cop “Rama” (Iko Uwais) finds that these thugs were but the tip of the criminal iceberg and that he and his family are now firmly in the sights of the bosses intent of revenge. It seems the only way he can keep them safe is to go undercover and expose himself to a nest of brutal drug dealers and corrupt officials - including some in his own force. So, “Yuda” is born. His task begins in prison and by ingratiating himself with the ambitious “Uco” (Arifin Petra), the rather duplicitous son of one of the nasties who’s sense of honour (and his henchmen) has hitherto kept the peace on the outside, he hopes to discover who is threatening his loved ones. Meantime, there are some changes going on

89/100 Our hero from "The Raid" goes undercover to expose police corruption and lands in the middle of a power struggle. Holy cow... what a banger this is! Over 4 stars is rare for me but for good reason. The story is complex (it even lost me a bit at times but I caught up) and the characters were fully developed. But the action sequences were absolutely stellar with mind boggling choreography. The speed they fight at is mesmerizing, even the kitchen scene, which I would usually complain as being too long, had me hypnotized. And the car chase! Mind Blown! - DrNostromo.com
