Iko Uwais reprising the role of Rama couldn't have done a better job, he showed us the true meaning of what it is to fully engulf himself into a character, the Director (Evans) took us to the darkest parts of Rama himself, he put him in the 7th circle of hell just to show Rama struggling to toe the line between cop and the mindless thug. I will be seeing this film over and over again. The score was even better than the first in my eyes. I saw it last night, and I actually agree with the reviewers that the violence is a little much. It's probably my favorite action movie of all time. The Raid 2 amps it up in a way that sort of detracts from the fun of the fight scenes, in my opinion. It's still a really awesome movie, and there are a lot of fights that don't have that problem. But 2 fights in particular stood out in my mind as being violent to the point that it was slightly uncomfortable.
There's a lot more shots that linger as you watch people tear through opponents bodies with knives, shivs, and hammers.īasically, the kind of really violent finishing things that only happened occasionally in the first one, to punctuate scenes, now happen every 15 seconds or so in some fights. In my opinion, it sort of takes away the specialness of those moments, and a lot of the audience was cringing way more than the crowd I saw the first one with. It didn't ruin the movie, but for me it kept the movie from surpassing the first one. I still recommend seeing it if you were a fan of the first.
