the first one kicked ass!  hope this one is as good.

Never even heard of the first one

FUCK yeeeesssssss!

Heard nothing but good things about raid 2. Never even heard of the first one.

Hallway fight



Just 2 minutes of the hallway fight. The entire movie was like this.

Bump for hopefully a great sequel. Loved the original!

Looks good!

I saw it last night.I thought it was better than the first one,the fights scenes were amazingly violent.The only knock I have on it was that it was a bit too long,there was about a half hour in total of scenes where they show a close up of a characters face while he's deep in thought.All in all,it was a great flick.

About halfway through the first movie, considering buying it on blu ray since its only 9.99 at BB right now. Never cared for dubbed or subtitled movies before, but so far this one isnt bad.

I can't watch scenes like that without imagining 20 - 30 guys waiting in the hallway behind an RSO.





"One at a time, boys.  One at a time . . . OK, Jimmy's dead.  Bob!  You're up!  Fred's on deck, Ralph's in the hole, Johnny's in the deep hole . . ."





"Hmmmph.  That was fast.  Fred, you're up!"





 

It was a crazy movie.. I will definitely be buying it when it comes out on Blue Ray.

That movie was crazy.

"Using a gun is like calling for takeout."

Wait...  I have to watch a movie, and read at the same fucking time???

Fuck all that!!!

Production value is wayyyy up compared to the first one since Sony got behind the wide release. Like the hallway fight and the "boss fight" with Dog in Raid:Redemption, there are several fight sequences that are outstanding. There's even a well-done car chase. The final 20 minutes are unreal.

There's a ton of gore, but it doesn't come across as gratuitous - these are just brutal fights. People get destroyed with melee weapons of all shape and kind but there is little gunplay if you're expecting more M4A1 porn.. Surprisingly, the hardcore pencak silat knife-fighting also takes a backseat until the final "boss fight." But holy shit when it shows up, it's the longest, most brutal fight with edged weapons I've ever seen.

I had some minor criticisms. I'll ignore the storyline; that's not what got me into the theater. One of the strongest aspects of Raid:Redemption was the camerawork. It was shot wide enough and "quiet" enough to let the Uwais' incredible athleticism and the amazing choreography stand on their own without cheating. No Bourne Identity closeup, shaky cam, fast cut editing bullshit. There was one fight sequence in particular this was a problem for me in Raid 2, but thankfully most of the action isn't shot unclearly like this. It also has a 2:30 runtime, which is a tad long.

If you're a fan of martial arts action movies, you really need to see this one. It's so fresh compared to most of the trash that gets pumped out of Hollywood these days, and I'm happy I didn't have to find an indie theater to watch it.

TL;DR Kicks ass, would watch again.

I loved the first one so much I bought it!

..

..I been missin out.

l liked it a lot. Amazing action.

However, to me at least, some of the plot points/dialogue seemed to get lost in translation without English voice overs.

Which parts? I don't mind subtitles because often, even though it's easier to focus on what's on the screen the voice over is really bad. For example english VO for the Tony Jaa movies are pretty terrible.
