Overall considering where this movie is from and the cast involved etc any negative rating is totally undeserved. But instead with way way way better fight scenes and frankly, a better plot as well. The movie reminded me a little of a Tarantino film with its characters, something like Kill Bill. If you are expecting to see a amazing fighting / martial arts movie with a believable plot you wont be disappointed. If you are expecting(for some bizarre reason) to see an amazing plot to compare to The Godfather or The Departed you probably are expecting the wrong things. The movie delivers far more in the way of action and fight sequences whilst maintaining a sensible and cohesive plot. When I try to compare this to the usual Hollywood blockbuster action movies reduced to PG13 to get more people in to watch it, its impossible. The gore and violence level reflect far more realistic outcomes considering the brutality of both the scenarios and the weapons. The fight scenes are excellently choreographed and the way they are shot is spectacular, a lot of imagination and ingenuity is used to really throw the viewer directly into the action. We also get to watch them fight and are able to enjoy their unique styles rather than the usual, 'this character is a bad guy' scenes to barely introduce them. Evans is able to introduce new characters like the 'Hammer Girl' and the 'Baseball Bat' guy without making them seem totally over the top and ridiculous. It was easily one of the most impressive and gruesome action movies I had ever seen, and I rewatched it many times since then.
THE RAID FULL MOVIE 2 SERIES
We find out that realism is not the aim of the series and instead its a world of gangsters, villains and corruption. I purchased The Raid 2 on Amazon a few years ago to watch for the first time and did not regret it at all. In the first movie we are locked in the one perspective of Rama and his battle through the building, whilst in the sequel we learn that this all takes place as part of a much larger setting. The viewers are introduced to an entirely new perspective on the world where the first movie is set. With 'The Raid 2: Berandal', we are brought back into the gritty world of the first movie directly following where the story left off. With its fast paced action and believable fight scene choreography whilst not being over the top with an aim for realism that would diminish the combat's entertainment factor. In many ways, this sequel is an improvement over The Raid: Redemption, except for that film's welcome simplicity.The first movie 'The Raid: Redemption' set the bar for action movies. But for the most part, The Raid 2 is a very standard undercover cop story it's incredibly convoluted, though every twist and turn is something you've seen before. A few of the other actors also stand out, notably the "Hammer Girl" and "Baseball Bat Man" characters, who seem imported from some lost Quentin Tarantino film. Star Uwais has skill and charisma, though it's probably too soon to proclaim him the next Bruce Lee.
THE RAID FULL MOVIE 2 HOW TO
Miraculously, Welsh-born director Gareth Evans seems to be the first filmmaker in ages who knows how to choreograph and shoot a martial arts fight scene, emphasizing movement, space, and clarity rather than turning in a cluttered jumble of shaky, quickly cut mush.
So many scenes in THE RAID 2 are worthy of applause and gratitude - not just for being watchable, but for being incredibly inventive and potent (as well as incredibly violent, of course).
