The Raid 2 had a budget of roughly $4.5 million—a massive sum for an Indonesian film. The movie barely broke even theatrically. Every illegal download robs the director, stunt team, and actors of rightful revenue, making it harder for them to create sequels (a third Raid film has been stuck in development hell for years). If you love action cinema, support it.
Before The Raid 2 , Indonesian cinema was rarely a focal point for Western audiences. This film changed that forever. It paved the way for the "John Wick" era of stunt-heavy, practical action and introduced the world to the brutal efficiency of Pencak Silat.
In the pantheon of modern action cinema, few films command the respect and reverence of Gareth Evans’ The Raid 2: Berandal . Released in 2014 as the follow-up to the 2011 cult classic The Raid: Redemption , this Indonesian martial arts epic is frequently cited by critics and directors (including Quentin Tarantino) as the greatest action movie ever made.
The Raid 2 picks up immediately after the first film. Officer Rama (Iko Uwais) survives the apartment tower massacre only to go undercover in the Jakarta underworld to expose corrupt police officials. The film abandons the "confined building" concept for a sprawling, operatic crime saga reminiscent of The Godfather or Infernal Affairs .
