What to Know

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.

Jason Bailey 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. Jun 18, 2016 Full Review Grady Hendrix 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. Apr 28, 2014 Full Review Geoffrey Macnab 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. Apr 11, 2014 Full Review 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 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies It remembers what made its predecessor successful and it builds upon it. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 24, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie 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. Rated: 7/10 Dec 4, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Super Action, toll Choreographiert und schön blutig. Allerdings ist er entschieden zu lang, das Mafiosi Getue nervt und der Daddy Komplex des Bösewichts ebenso. Charaktere und Handlung sind mir leider echt egal gewesen. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/24/24 Full Review Robson C Após sobreviver ao filme anterior, Rama é convidado a trabalhar disfarçado para pegar todo o esquema de corrupção da polícia de Jacarta. Na prisão, ele faz amizade com Uco, filho de um dos chefes do crime, Bangun, e, assim, se infiltra na organização, que está sendo ameaçada pelo perigoso Bejo. Com o sucesso do primeiro filme e com mais dinheiro, o diretor e roterista Gareth Evans pode investir mais. Assim, temos mais locações (o filme anterior foi todo no prédio do traficante), uma história com personagens para desenvolver, uma sequência automobilística e, é claro, muitas e excelentes sequências de lutas de artes marciais. Vamos pelo ponto negativo: o roteiro. No primeiro filme, o roteiro era apenas a desculpa para a sequências de ação. Aqui, como há uma trama e mais personagens, a coisa toda fica na superficialidade. Todos os personagens podem ser descritos com um adjetivo só. Mesmo o protagonista não tem como se sentir comprometido com os gangsters, como em outras histórias de agentes infiltrados. Não é uma dívida tão grande entre eles. Outra coisa: são descobertas feitas por personagens que não são explicadas. Porém, os personagens dos mercenários não precisam de muito para ganharem a nossa atenção. A assassina com os martelos e o rapaz com o taco de beisebol podem até serem considerados meio personagens de animês ou mangás, mas as suas sequências são eletrizantes. Nunca pensei das mais variadas formas de se usar um martelo como arma de matança. As sequências de lutas continuam no mais alto nível, principalmente no terço final do filme. É uma sequência que dá uma derrapada, por não ter um roteiro melhor escrito, ter personagens estereotipados, mas continua excelente nas cenas de artes marciais. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review Erik y More complex than the first with a expanding story and bigger action set pieces. A top notch action fighting movie Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/05/24 Full Review Kevin K The first movie was great but this one actually has a story so it manages to be even better Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/07/24 Full Review Alec B 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/28/24 Full Review noah g literally the other greatest movie of all time (the other is the raid 1) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews
