#The raid 2 berandal full movie
After picking up where the last movie left off, with our hero having freshly staggered out of the world’s least fun building, it quickly deposits him in a hell-hole prison, undercover and attempting to buddy up with the arrogant son of a Mob boss (an excellent Arifin Putra). The Raid 2’s plot, in fact, calls to mind a number of crime classics, not least Infernal Affairs. Though if Evans had made that, Don Corleone would have killed 52 men using only oranges and his cat. Plus, as the 148-minute run-time suggests, there’s plenty of dialogue before the die-alogue kicks in. And the pared-down, rip-roaring quest narrative of the original - Rama (Iko Uwais) and fellow cops must escape a tower of terror before they get machete-killed - is replaced by a spider-web of murky, shifting allegiances. It devotes hefty chunks of screen time to the various factions of the Indonesian underworld. The sequel, subtitled Berandal in the States and based on a story that Evans conceived before the first film, is set over years, rather than a single day. And while it has its flaws, it’s still a monumental experience to sit through, and one that proves beyond doubt that this is a director with talent to burn. A lesser University Of Glamorgan graduate-turned-creator of blistering, Jakarta-set action cinema would have taken stock of the success of The Raid, aka Die Very, Very Hard, then made the same shit happen to the same guy twice (probably at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport).
