The Raid 2 (Indonesian: The Raid 2: Berandal — English: "Thug")[4] is a 2014 Indonesian martial arts crime film written and directed by Welsh filmmaker Gareth Evans; it is the sequel to the 2011 film The Raid: Redemption.

The film was released on 28 March 2014.[5][6][7] It follows SWAT member Rama, the protagonist of the first film, as he is sent undercover to take down both corrupt police officials and the gangs of the criminal underworld. Like Evans' previous films, Merantau and The Raid: Redemption, the film's fight scenes once again showcase the Indonesian fighting style of Pencak Silat.

Iko Uwais reprises his role as Rama. The film also stars Arifin Putra, Julie Estelle, Alex Abbad, Tio Pakusadewo, Oka Antara, and Cecep A. Rahman. The film also features Japanese actors such as Ryuhei Matsuda, Kenichi Endo, and Kazuki Kitamura. The film is distributed by Sony Pictures Classics worldwide, Stage 6 Films in the United States, and Entertainment One in the United Kingdom.

Plot

Following The Raid: Redemption, the film opens with Bejo, a self-made Jakarta gang lord, executing Rama's brother Andi in a field outside the city.

After the disastrous raid on crime boss Tama's apartment building, Rama meets with Bunawar, a police officer deemed honest by Andi. After executing Wahyu and sending Rama's fellow survivor Bowo to receive medical attention, Bunawar invites Rama to join a clandestine anti-corruption task force. This undercover unit seeks to expose the backroom dealings of Reza and other police leaders with the Bangun and Goto crime families. While Rama initially declines, he agrees to join after learning of his brother's murder and the threat made by Bejo. Bunawar fakes Rama's death to protect his family from Reza and the corrupt cops, assigning Rama to infiltrate the crime world by befriending Uco, son of Bangun and heir to his criminal empire.

Uco is currently incarcerated; to reach him, Rama takes on the alias Yuda, assaults the son of a politician who opposes Bangun, and goes to prison. Soon after, several assailants led by a man named Beni start a prison riot and attempt to kill Uco in the chaos. Rama saves Uco from Beni during the riot; when Yuda leaves prison two years later, Bangun hires him as thanks. As Yuda, Rama proves his value to the crime family, earning their trust through his work under Bangun's consigliere Eka. Despite their power, Bangun's gang is revealed to suffer from hidden faults: Uco is hotheaded and resentful of his father, elite assassin Prakoso is estranged from his wife and son, and Bangun lives an isolated life with only Eka for counsel. Meanwhile, Rama begins to distrust and resent Bunawar, who endangers Rama by withholding information and micromanaging. While Rama succeeds in growing close to Bangun and planting a bug in Uco's wallet, he becomes frustrated with the anxiety of undercover work and his longing for his wife and son.

Capitalizing on Uco's angst, Bejo invites him to dinner at Bejo's restaurant. Sharing rumours of a Japanese plot to turn Reza against Bangun and overthrow Goto, Bejo also lets Uco personally kill his assailants from the riot; in the process, Uco notices a distinctive gang tattoo on Beni's wrist before killing Beni himself. The duo hatch a plot to start a gang war, which would let Uco prove himself to Bangun and help Bejo profit from the chaos. Uco lures Prakoso into an ambush by Bejo's gang, then lies to his father that the Japanese were responsible for Prakoso's death. Bejo's elite killers - deaf-mute Hammer Girl, her brother Baseball Bat Man, and the Assassin - kill dozens of Goto's subordinates the next day, creating the false appearance of reprisal by Bangun. In the course of the escalating conflict, Rama is attacked. He defeats a horde of assailants only to discover police IDs on their corpses after the fact. When the families meet to reconcile, Uco lashes out in anger, embarrassing Bangun into an important territory concession. Bangun beats Uco harshly on their return to the office. Shaken after killing other policemen, Rama contacts Bunawar and learns that he killed a team of Reza's corrupt cops sent to aid in the gang war.

Eka calls for Yuda to rescue Uco from Bangun's office. While Yuda is on the way, Bejo and the Assassin fight their way in with a mob of henchmen. After revealing his betrayal, Uco kills his father and shoots Eka in the leg. Before Bejo can finish him off, Yuda arrives, stalling while Eka flees. After the Assassin subdues Yuda, Bejo commands his men to kill him offsite. Eka follows, rescues Rama in a highway chase, and drives them to an abandoned scrapyard. Eka reveals that he knew Rama's identity and was also undercover. Voicing disillusionment with his work and his inability to change the harsh realities of crime in Jakarta, Eka counsels Rama that the only solution is to "burn it all down", telling him to exterminate the gangs before leaving the car and bleeding to death in the scrapyard.

Goto, hearing of Bangun's death and Reza's betrayal, becomes furious to learn of Bejo's coup against him, especially when Ryuichi (Goto's translator) reveals that Uco assisted Bejo into killing Bangun and turning Reza against him. Wanting to start over, Goto declares war against both Bejo and Reza. Elsewhere, Rama calls Bunawar, relaying news of Bejo's coup and learning that the gang war has dramatically escalated. Bunawar claims that Eka was a traitor that Bangun had turned, blaming Eka for their past difficulties infiltrating the gang. Rama learns that Reza, his true target, is meeting with Bejo and Uco at the restaurant. Rama breaches the restaurant warehouse and fights his way through Bejo's men.

While Uco and Bejo meet with Reza to discuss terms, Uco discovers the bug in his wallet. Uncertain who planted the bug, he later notices that Bejo has the same wrist tattoo as Beni, suggesting that the prison attack had been another attempt to spark the gang war. Realizing Bejo has been manipulating him all along, Uco comes to believe that Bejo planted the bug. Meanwhile, Rama fights and defeats Bejo's personal retinue of killers, takes the Assassin's kerambit, and disrupts the meeting. In the chaos, Uco kills Reza before betraying Bejo, who personally tried to kill Rama, by shooting him. Uco executes Bejo before turning his attentions to kill Rama, who has taken cover.

However, Rama surprises and overpowers Uco by stabbing him with the karambit. Uco dies in his arms, and the wounded, fatigued Rama limps away. In the warehouse garage, he encounters Keiichi (Goto's son) and a mob of Goto's men, including Ryuichi, which was sent to eliminate both Bejo's gang and Reza's corrupt cops. While Bunawar learns of the night's events over his radio, Keiichi learns the same from Rama. In a silent dialogue, Keiichi asks Rama something, though whether it is a threat or an offer of employment is uncertain. The exchange ends with Rama stating, "No...I'm done".

Production

Development

Following Merantau, director Gareth Evans and his producers began to work on a project called Berandal (which is Indonesian for "thugs"), a large-scale prison gang film intended to star not only Merantau actors Iko Uwais, Yayan Ruhian, and Donny Alamsyah, but also an additional pair of international fight stars. A teaser trailer was shot, but the project proved to be more complex and time consuming than they had anticipated.[8] After a year and a half, Evans and the producers found themselves with insufficient funds to produce Berandal, so they changed to a simpler, but different story with a smaller budget. They called the project Serbuan Maut (The Raid), which led to the creation of the first film.[9]

While developing The Raid in script form, Evans considered the idea of creating a link between it and the initial project, Berandal. Following the release of The Raid, it was later confirmed that Berandal would serve as a sequel to The Raid.[10][11] Evans also said that he wanted to include car chases in the sequel, as well as a third Raid film being "a lot further down the line".[12]

With the title for the North American market announced as The Raid 2, the sequel has a "significantly larger" budget than its predecessor, and its production schedule took approximately 100 days.[13] Pre-production began in September 2012 with filming in January 2013.[14][15]

Casting

In December 2012, it was announced that Julie Estelle was cast as "Hammer Girl"; Evans also tweeted that internationally renowned silat practitioner Cecep Arif Rahman was also given a major part in the film.[16] Marsha Timothy, Mathias Muchus, Tio Pakusadewo, and Alex Abbad, who worked with Evans in Merantau, were also cast in the film.[16] Japanese actors Matsuda Ryuhei, Endo Kenichi, and Kitamura Kazuki also joined the cast.[17]

Evans also revealed on his Twitter that Yayan Ruhian, who played Mad Dog in The Raid: Redemption, will return for the sequel as a new character called Prakoso,[18] who is the machete-wielding chief assassin of Bangun. He claimed that he would not do a martial arts film without Ruhian being involved.[19] Ruhian, who is a choreographer of the film, also trained Estelle in pencak silat.[20]

Filming

In January 2013, PT Merantau Films and XYZ Films announced the start of production.[21][22][23] The filming process took about seven months and ended in July 2013.[24]

The film's lead cinematographer Matt Flannery tweeted that at least three RED cameras were used in a test shoot of a chase scene.[25][26] Gareth Evans mentioned on his Twitter that they were using RED Scarlet for 95% of the shoot, Epic for slow mo, and Go Pro 3 for quick cuts during the car chase.[27]

Distribution

Sony Pictures Classics purchased the film for North American, Latin American, and Spanish markets; Alliance/Momentum for the United Kingdom and Canada; Koch Media for German-speaking territories; Korea Screen for the Korean market; and HGC for China.[28][29][30]

Marketing

A teaser trailer was released at Twitchfilm on 6 November 2013.[31] The Hollywood Reporter stated that the trailer "unleashes more action than most Hollywood blockbusters."[32] A longer Indonesian trailer was released on 31 December 2013.[33]

The American trailer was released on 21 January 2014.[34][35][36][37]

Release

The film had its world premiere at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival on 21 January 2014.[38] It also screened at South by Southwest on 10 March 2014[39] and ARTE Indonesia Arts Festival on 14 March 2014.[40]

After a wide release on 11 April 2014, due to low returns the majority of theaters closed the film one week later. This was similar to what happened during the theatrical run of the first film.[41]

Censorship

The Raid 2 was banned in Malaysia.[42] The film was scheduled to hit Malaysian screens on 28 March, but as of 1 April, it had not been shown anywhere in the country due to its excessive violence.[43]

The US release was given an R rating by the MPAA for "sequences of strong bloody violence throughout, sexuality and language",[44] cutting a few frames of graphic violence. Director Evans stated the cuts are very minimal and similar to his original cut.[45][46]

Critical reception

The Raid 2 has received positive reviews. Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a 79% "Certified Fresh" rating, with an average score of 7.3/10, based on reviews from 157 critics. The site's consensus states: "Although its high-energy plot and over-the-top violence may play better with genre aficionados, The Raid 2 definitely delivers more of everything audiences loved about its predecessor".[47] The film has a score of 71/100 on Metacritic, indicating "generally favorable reviews", based on 33 critics.[48]

During its world premiere at Sundance, The Raid 2 received an overwhelming reaction. Mark Olsen of the Los Angeles Times reported that "The screening caused an explosion of excitement and enthusiasm for the film on social media."[49]

On a 3-out-of-5 mixed review, Joey Magidson of the website Awards Circuit wrote that he "appreciate(s) the directing skills on display in The Raid 2, but at a certain point, all of the fighting and killing nearly got to be too much for me. I’m recommending the film, but not in the same way as the last one."[50] He added that while it is "creative enough to be worth a recommendation, it lacks the originality of the first flick" and concluded that "The Raid 2 will delight genre fans, but might not impress to many others."[50]

Chris Nashawaty of Entertainment Weekly said, "The Raid 2 will make you feel like Christmas came nine months early. Some action sequels don't know when to say when. But here's one where too much is just the right amount."[51]

Simon Abrams of RogerEbert.com praised the film for its "involving plot"; calling the cast, especially Uwais, "charming" and dialogue "winningly precise" while noting that the sequel is "a great step up after the already-impressive The Raid: Redemption."[52]

David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a positive review, remarking, "Evans gives the audience a knowing wink by having Rama endure repeated batterings that would leave mere mortals in traction, not to mention some nasty blade wounds. Yet he keeps coming back, finding the stamina to snap more limbs and crush more skulls. Taking place inside moving vehicles, a subway car, a noodle bar, warehouses, a porn factory, tight corridors and in the most electrifying mano-a-mano clash, a gleaming nightclub kitchen and wine cellar, the fights are dynamite."[53]

Rolling Stone journalist Peter Travers, wrote: "The Raid 2 lets its warriors rip for two and a half thrilling hours. With the precision of dance and the punch of a K.O. champion, Evans keeps the action coming like nobody's business."[54]

Many have praised the film for matching the action sequences that made the first film so great, as well as improving upon the plot and the dialogue, which its predecessor was criticized for.

Amber Wilkinson of The Daily Telegraph commented, "Hyper-violent it may be but there is beauty in its brutality," and wrote, "To say a martial arts movie brings something fresh in terms of choreography may sound like fighting talk, but Gareth Evans's sequel to his 2011 film is endlessly inventive."[55]

Matt Risley of Total Film gave the film five stars called it a "sumptuously shot, perfectly paced and flat-out exhilarating, The Raid 2 cements Evans as the best action director working today and may not be the best action, gangster, or even martial-arts movie ever made. But as a combination of all three, it's unparalleled in recent memory and offers a tantalising glimpse into a post-Bayhem action-movie world. Brutal, beautiful and brilliant" and also wrote, "The sheer imagination on show, both in the cinematography and choreography, guarantees each brawl is instantly iconic. Immaculately edited, each traumatic, tensely tactile fight would blur into chaos if not for Evans's pinpoint pacing something that refreshes all the more in the face of modern blockbusting's tendency to start big and just keep getting bigger, until burnout."[56]

Year-End Lists

The film appeared on several critics' year-end lists.
