Director/Writer Gareth Evans’ The Raid 2 arrives in U.S. theaters today (March 28th) and Sony Pictures Classics’ will release the film in St. Louis on Friday, April 11.
After having an early look at Evans’ film, my fellow Movie Geeks are raving about it.
Tom Stockman, calls the R-rated movie, “a hyper-violent, adrenaline-fueled epic!” Jim Batts says, “Raid 2 is a non-stop thrill ride that will have your heart pumping almost from the first fade-in to the final fade-out! It’s an action film lover’s fever dream!” Look for Wamg’s review in the coming weeks.
Here’s what goes down in The Raid 2 -
He thought it was over. After fighting his way out of a building filled with gangsters and madmen – a fight that left the bodies of police and gangsters alike piled in the halls – rookie Jakarta cop Rama thought it was done and he could resume a normal life.

The Raid 2 is a film fans have been clamoring for since the original in 2011 and it’s easy to see that this film will satisfy those ardent supporters. While the film does contain many exciting elements and some of the most daring fights you’ll ever seen, the film left me pretty detached by the nature of its thin and ever shifting plot.
The movie picks up where the last one left off with Officer Rama meeting with the anti-corruption task force. He is pressured into joining because he is worried for the safety of his wife and son. It’s his safety that he should be really concerned about as he is sent to prison to befriend a mob boss’ son named Uco and has to quite literally fight for his life while in the slammer. After saving Uco from a particularly brutal battle,...

When Gareth Evans’ brutal action thriller The Raid: Redemption became a word-of-mouth phenomenon back in 2011, everyone knew that a sequel was all but inevitable. As work on the follow-up has progressed from the idea stage to filming to post-production, we’ve seen a cool banner, a bloody teaser and not much else. Now, however, the sequel, formerly called The Raid 2: Berandal but apparently now just The Raid 2, has an unexpectedly soon stateside release date.
The sequel will make its debut at the Sundance Film Festival next month then expand to theaters in the United States on March 28th. That’s a remarkably quick turn-around for the film, as well as a measure of Sony Picture Classics’ faith in the project.

And it's a wrap on principal photography for the anxiously awaited The Raid 2: Berandal! Director Gareth Evans shared the news via Twitter and also mentioned what the final shot entailed.
Late last night Evans tweeted the following:
"After almost 7 months, to everyone who contributed in the making of this film… it’s a fucking wrap. #TheRaid2Berandal"
"Final shot of the day, as expected, was a kick from @iko_uwais - sadly it was to the stomach and not to the face. Good kick though :)"
When a follower responded with a request for him not to "hold back on the killing this time," Evans replied:
"I learnt my lesson last time, far too much restraint."
This one simply can't get here soon enough!

One of the things that made The Raid so ridiculously memorable was the film's violence. The fight scenes were as brutal as they come, and there was enough additional gore to make even the most jaded viewer squirm.
The good news is that director Gareth Evans is continuing that blood-soaked tradition with the sequel, The Raid 2: Berandal. Check out the first gruesome still he shared online via his Twitter account below.

Starting production this week in The Raid 2: Berandal, the sequel to the Indonesian action hit The Raid: Redemption, which is one hell of a film. Kinetic, unforgiving and wildly entertaining, director Gareth Evans’ action spectacular made waves last year and due to its success, a sequel was ordered up. Picking up only a few hours after the first film, shooting on the sequel is now underway and along with a press release, we also have a few stills from the set of the film, which is undergoing a 100 day shoot.

Production has officially begun, with Gareth Evans once more directing from his own script, and leading man Iko Uwais returning to take the lead.
