Who can say for certain? By around the midway mark, our hero has been subjected to so many double-crosses that it's a wonder he knows who he's fighting any more. On this occasion he has been ordered to infiltrate a crime cartel, or possibly two. Rama, it should be noted, is a master of the Indonesian martial art of "pencak silat", a one-man killing machine who can take out entire armies, providing the army obliges by running at him one man at a time. Iko Uwais is back in business as the redoubtable Rama, sent deep cover into the underworld of Jakarta. De gangsters zijn uit op wraak en als hij wordt bedreigd, wordt Rama gedwongen undercover te gaan om zijn familie te beschermen. Rama (Iko Uwais) dacht dat hij de strijd tegen de Indonesische onderwereld had gewonnen.
The movie's menu of carnage reads as long as your arm.Įvil-doers beware, for you have no place left to hide. Na het bioscoopsucces van de spectaculaire martial arts film The Raid komt regisseur Gareth Evans met het langverwachte vervolg The Raid 2: Berandal. If Evans never actually goes so far as to throw in the kitchen sink as well, he does at least find room for an extended sequence in which a man's face is sauteed on a hot-plate. It puts its characters to the sword, to the shotgun, and to the speeding automobile.
The Raid 2: Berandal ups the ante to give us riots in the prison and battles in the bar a girl wielding hammers and a boy brandishing a bat. Now along comes the sequel, which only goes to show that nothing succeeds like excess. Sundance Film Review: ‘The Raid 2: Berandal’ A longer, slower, more expansive sequel that nevertheless delivers deep, bone-crunching pleasure for hardcore genre fans. Did I mention this film was both savage and insane? Remove the first half, and it's perfection.but we can't so it shall get a decent rating instead.T he writer-director Gareth Evans was raised in Wales, moved to Indonesia in his 20s and rustled up a left-field hit with 2011's The Raid, in which a rookie cop knocked seven bells out of the gangsters infesting a nightmarish block of flats. Even the no nonsense dialogue was insanely savage. The use of blood and gore is ridiculously insane, great makeup effects. Some technical excellence from Evans, who performed such a great tracking shot that consists of going through 3 different cars in a chase scene. The action set pieces were creative, from decimating prisoners in mud to a frantic car chase in downtown Jakarta.majestic.
Evidently, watching this is releasing my inner murderous personality. The choreography was perfection, I've never shouted "YEAH! STAB HIM!!" so much. The Indonesian Terminator from the predecessor has now been substituted by a hammer wielding deaf girl, a well aimed baseball bat wielding guy (who can kill by hitting baseballs with insane precision.) and the ultimate blade wielding badass since Blade himself. This, as an action film, is absolutely insane. So the long runtime and slow paced first half are my only complaints. Could've easily established the power hungry Uco, who has major daddy issues, in a solid 20 minutes as opposed to an hour. This time, he ups the ante in every facet opening the world with more characters, a deeper plot, and action that attempts to surpass the original film. This did not need to be 150 minutes long, at all. The Raid 2: Berandal - Making of & Behind the Scenes (part 4) The Raid 2: Berandal (English: Thug) is a 2014 Indonesian martial arts, action film directed by Gareth Evans it is the sequel to the 2012 hit The Raid: Redemption and was announced in 2011. Evans returns with the sequel, The Raid 2: Berandal (2014). I'll start with the negatives, the first half was an absolute drag. Massive props to Gareth Evans, I tip my SnapBack off to you sir! So in this sequel we follow our sole survivor, Rama, who must go undercover in order to protect his family from his new hardcore reputation that is making him popular in the criminal underworld. Martial arts have never looked this thrilling since.ever. Every kick, every punch and every head smash was filmed to absolute perfection. Ohhhhh myyyyyy lorddddd I couldn't keep me eyes off those fight scenes. The Raid 2 has the most insane choreography I've ever seen.
