The plot line may be skimpy but the film's artistry lies elsewhere. Yet Evans delivers the violence with such astonishing gusto that he barely lets us catch our breath. Of course it's preposterous and possibly reprehensible to boot a vast orchestration of sadism and sentiment. Rama fights on because he can, because he must, and because Evans persists in lining up his goons and sending them in single file – cranking the action so quickly that even the subtitles fall out of sequence, toiling desperately to keep pace.
Who can say for certain? By around the midway mark, our hero has been subjected to so many double-crosses that it's a wonder he knows who he's fighting any more. On this occasion he has been ordered to infiltrate a crime cartel, or possibly two. Rama, it should be noted, is a master of the Indonesian martial art of "pencak silat", a one-man killing machine who can take out entire armies, providing the army obliges by running at him one man at a time. Iko Uwais is back in business as the redoubtable Rama, sent deep cover into the underworld of Jakarta. The movie's menu of carnage reads as long as your arm.Įvil-doers beware, for you have no place left to hide. If Evans never actually goes so far as to throw in the kitchen sink as well, he does at least find room for an extended sequence in which a man's face is sauteed on a hot-plate. It puts its characters to the sword, to the shotgun, and to the speeding automobile. The Raid 2: Berandal ups the ante to give us riots in the prison and battles in the bar a girl wielding hammers and a boy brandishing a bat. Now along comes the sequel, which only goes to show that nothing succeeds like excess. Like getting shot in the head, blown up with a grenade bloody.T he writer-director Gareth Evans was raised in Wales, moved to Indonesia in his 20s and rustled up a left-field hit with 2011's The Raid, in which a rookie cop knocked seven bells out of the gangsters infesting a nightmarish block of flats. As Evans said on Vimeo, "This was probably the hardest for me to cut due to the fact that the production on this scene lasted around six days of shooting, it cost us a fuckload to make, and it served to escalate the gang war out onto the streets, involving people outside of the closed off inter-gang politics.Īt the end of the day, though, after discussing its worth, it took us away from the central theme for a little too long, with characters that would only exist in this scene alone."
