Review of The Raid 2 (2014) by Mirza Mohd S — 21 Jun 2014
The Raid: Redemption (2012) was one of the best action movies of 2012, hence alot more is expected from the sequel! Undoubtedly its one of the best action films ever made!! Unlike the 1st part where the whole film took place in a building, things move out in the actual world.
Despite the OMG awesome gorgeously brutal action sequences, Gareth Evans fails in the story telling department, well the 1st one didn't have much of a plot agreed, but the proceedings where so engaging no one cared! Here with a run time of 150 minutes, the proceeding get draggy.
Of course throw in a cliche plot of a gangster movie about two warring families, undercover cop, emotional family ties & an ultimate betrayal. You never actually care about the characters. Nevertheless as I have mentioned about the brilliant fight choreography, probably the only reason to watch this movie.
Overall a brilliant treat for mixed martial arts fans but in case you are looking for a plot, this one is not for you! Yup! the action is so-so good I gave it 3 stars!!
