#FILM THE RAID 2 FULL MOVIE#

The nearly non-stop action of 'The Raid,' which is an epic depiction of a drug raid on an apartment block in which hordes of cops and criminals have at each other, is largely martial-arts driven, but with plenty of shooting and slashing, all of it shot in excruciatingly you-are-there close range and edited to both make your head spin and give you whiplash. This movie, as its title implies, is a sequel to ' The Raid: Redemption,' the 2012 Indonesian action film directed by the Welsh-born Gareth Evans, whose cinematic mission in life was, some reports have it, handed down to him when he was first exposed to the Indonesian martial arts. In addition, you wanna go for severely dislocated jaws, third degree burns where you least want to see them (I understand this raises the question of where you most want to see them, and that IS deliberate), potential/partial disembowelings, and more.

Only the substance is red so it doesn't really resemble guacamole. No, in the world of 'The Raid 2,' you've got to get your foe on the ground, and bang his (or her!) head against the floor or the pavement untilвЂ¦you know. With disquieting frequency, a fractured limb, a baseball bat to the cranium, a bisecting slash to the external carotid artery, that sort of thing, simply aren't enough.

In the 1973 movie ' Sleeper,' the hapless, frazzled character played by Woody Allen makes a hyperbolic but ineffectual threat to a screaming Diane Keaton: 'If you don't shut up I'm gonna take this rock and bring it down on your head so hard that a substance resembling guacamole is gonna come out of your ears.' I thought of that line rather often while watching 'The Raid 2,' in which the cops and criminals doing incessant battle have to go to similar lengths to vanquish, or even just temporarily incapacitate, their foes.
