Having warmed up for this opus with not only “Redemption†but also 2009’s “Merantau†(also starring Uwais), Welsh-born genre specialist Evans and his regular collaborators have upped their arsenal with savvy calculation; at times they seem to be auditioning for a Hollywood blockbuster assignment, albeit with a viciousness that would knock the stuffing out of any comparable studio venture. Two particularly nasty assassins, the aptly named Baseball Bat Man (Very Tri Yulisman) and Hammer Girl (Julie Estelle), feel straight out of the Tarantino playbook.
“The Raid 2: Berandal,†at nearly two-and-a-half hours, is a sensationally violent and strikingly well-made sequel has been conceived as a slow-burn gangster epic, stranding the viewer in a maze-like Jakarta underworld that doesn’t really get the adrenaline pumping until the film’s second half. Once the carnage kicks in, Evans’ action chops prove as robust and hyperkinetic as ever, delivering deep, bone-crunching pleasure for hardcore action buffs. -Justin Chang, Variety
This film is VIOLENT and not for the timid nor faint of heart
