A veteran actor, obviously trained for acting. The only one actor whom I can hear clearly even when talking fast is the gang boss (Ray Sahetapi). Secondly, some of them are not professional actors and as an Indonesian watching an Indonesian movie without subtitles, I couldn't catch most of the things they said! I wished there were subtitles!! I wished there were Indonesian or English subtitles so that the foreigners in indo can enjoy the movie as well! (although there's one guy with a manado accent who talks funny, obviously a joke which will not be noticed by foreigners) They either talked really quickly, or had poor articulation/enunciation that I couldn't hear what they said and had to ask my sister, who also didn't catch what they said, and had to ask her boyfriend. Some lines were obviously translated from English (it's written by Gareth himself) and some sounds quite cheesy (overused in other movies), like A: "Why us? why now?" B: "Why not?" Or "I need to get in, my wife is sick" And a bunch of others. It goes boom boom boom boom! and then it rests a bit before going into suspense mode, scary mode, and then boom some more. I sure do hope Gareth can find better writers to write the story next time. There's nothing new in terms of plot, but that's not really a big problem. However, I can't really tell whats going to happen next, and there's enough twists that actually works, even if they were rather cliché (the rookie, the corrupt officers, the help from a friendly neighbor, the. The premise is very simple, a bunch of cops trapped in a hellish building filled with the devil's men who knows silat and dead set on killing the cops. The movie in terms of story: interesting. I thought I'd root for Joe Taslim (Jaka) better because of his better looks and taller figure but Iko is perfect. ![]() Of all the actors, this guy fits the character flawlessly and is a highly likable actor. I hope that the director Gareth Evans would make more films with a higher budget to showcase to the world his true potential as a director, and it'd be great to have it featuring Iko Uwais, that could be an icon for years to come.Reviewed by yannigk 8 / 10 Minimal plot, intense action It has everything a perfect martial arts movie has to have, and it deserves to be regarded as one of the best in its genre. It will keep you on the edge of your seat. ![]() It had more action and violence than the previous one, although less action percentage-wise. It's superior to its predecessor in terms of story telling, considering the running time, and the choreography was also quite a bit improved from the already unforgettable moves in the first one. Overall, The Raid 2 is arguably one of the best sequels ever, and even one of the best martial arts movies ever. The cast were good in delivering the good, the dialogue was fairly good, the choreography were Spectacular! Not to mention the unforgettable cinematography that was brilliantly managed by people who knows what they're doing.The only downside is perhaps the running time which could have been shortened 15-20 minutes, but you will still always be entertained while watching this movie. It is inspiring how he managed to make such unbelievable fight scenes, and car chase in a such limited budget. The director Gareth Evans is masterful at filming incredible action sequences, probably better than ANY Hollywood directors working right now. This movie is a great combination of a gangster flick with a very well coordinated martial arts. ![]() It's pretty much different than the first movie, in this one there was actually a story. The Raid: Redemption was such a success and regarded by many people as one of the best action movies of 2012, and the sequel is likely to end the year 2014 as the best action movie of the year.
