Review of The Raid 2 (2014) by Dti79 — 23 Apr 2014

Wow wow wow. I was a big fan of the original and couldn't wait for this release. I felt that it topped the original. A big factor were the beautiful visuals, much less possible in the limited dinginess of the first locale, set in a tenement.

The fight scenes here are incredibly choreographed and filmed. The feeling I had leaving the theater was that I had ridden the scariest roller coaster in the world 50 times in a row. Highly recommended for action aficionados but this movie is not for the squeamish.

I had to cover my eyes for one particularly sadistic scene and I can watch most horror movies without batting an eye.
