A.k.a. "The Raid 2: Berandal". Kicking off straight after the end of The Raid 1.0, part two sees battered-and-bruised cop Rama (Iko Uwais) made keenly aware of how hollow his victory actually is. The crime lord he defeated was but a mid-level grunt in an expansive underworld. To guarantee his familys safety, Rama must go undercover first in prison, to get close to Ucok (Arifin Putra), the son of a mob boss, and later as a trusted enforcer for the family hes meant to destroy. Throw in Ucoks own pretensions to his fathers crime crown, a burgeoning gang war with a rival Japanese dynasty, and an assassin-spawning wildcard intent on overruling all, and soon Rama realises hes in way over his head. Sumptuously shot, perfectly paced and flat-out exhilarating, The Raid 2 cements Evans as the best action director working today. Fight aficionados should brace themselves for a bruising, blistering ride.
