Critics Consensus

Although its high-energy plot and over-the-top violence may play better with genre aficionados, The Raid 2 definitely delivers more of everything audiences loved about its predecessor.

More complex than the first with a expanding story and bigger action set pieces. A top notch action fighting movie

More of an epic feel as compared to its predecessor but still has a sense of real sadness, something few action films are willing to do.

Rama returns for not only fighting the criminal element, but also infiltrating its ranks! As he wants to get to the source of the crime syndicate, his undercover operation spells doom for himself and anyone who gets involved with an internal power struggle. As intense and emotional as the first film, we're thrust into the compromising position of both cop and criminal!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Had the pleasure of watching this and 13 Assassins on successive nights. Completely insane action from start to finish, both hand-to-hand combat and a memorable, bone-crunching car chase! A worthy successor to the first film.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Flavorwire

The violence is so stylized, so energetic, and so magnificently choreographed that it abstracts into something beyond mere brawling; it's about the joy of performance and the thrill of capturing that performance.

Film Comment Magazine

Stylishly shot, edited with a lot of confidence in the audience's ability to follow parallel action, and ... faster and more brutal than anything else on the market.

Independent (UK)

It is adolescent male wish- fulfillment fantasy of the most retrograde kind but, as action cinema, the Jakarta-set thriller The Raid 2 is riveting fare.

Patrick Cavanaugh

The Wolfman Cometh

Takes every element that works about the first movie and takes them to shocking and impactful new heights, pivoting from a condensed and gritty experience into a sprawling story with breakneck, relentless action.

Rated: 5/5

It remembers what made its predecessor successful and it builds upon it.

Gone With The Twins

When every fight scene is heaped in gruesome dismemberments and gratuitous splatter, a general desensitization occurs that suppresses any particular moment from standing out.
