The Raid 2 (Indonesian: The Raid 2: Berandal, lit. 'thug'; Japanese: ザ・レイド Gokudo, lit. 'gangster'),[5][6][7] also known as The Raid: Retaliation, is a 2014 Indonesian action thriller film written, directed and edited by the Welsh filmmaker Gareth Evans.[8][9][10] It is the sequel to the 2011 film The Raid and stars Iko Uwais, Arifin Putra, Oka Antara, Tio Pakusadewo, Alex Abbad, Julie Estelle, Ryuhei Matsuda, Kenichi Endō, and Kazuki Kitamura. In the film, Rama is sent undercover to expose the corrupt police officials colluding with the crime families of Jakarta's criminal underworld.

Like Evans' previous films Merantau and The Raid, the fight scenes showcase Indonesian fighting style of pencak silat. The film was released in the United States and Canada by Sony Pictures Classics on 28 March 2014, where it received positive reviews from critics.

Plot

[edit]

A few hours after police officer Rama and his criminal brother Andi take down mob boss Tama in the previous film, Andi briefly takes control of Tama's HQ and is later captured and executed by a rival criminal lord named Bejo on the orders of corrupt police commissioner Reza. Meanwhile, Rama brings the remaining survivors, Sergeant Bowo and Lieutenant Wahyu to meet Lt. Bunawar, head of a secret internal investigation unit. Bunawar sends Bowo away to be treated and has Wahyu executed, explaining to a shocked Rama that in the eventuality of capture, Wahyu would have divulged their identities, thus compromising their entire operation. Lt. Bunawar promises Rama that this would be the only way to keep his family safe and urges Rama to help him uncover the secret dealings of the corrupt police commissioner, currently involved in criminal activities with the Bangun family, one of biggest crime syndicates of Jakarta that is currently keeping the peace between Bejo's uprising gangs and the Goto Family Yakuza. Rama initially refuses, but agrees after attending Andi's funeral.

Lt. Bunawar tasks Rama to infiltrate Bangun's organization, suggesting Rama to gain the trust of Bangun's only and unruly son Uco, who is currently in prison. Using the pseudonym Yuda, Rama deliberately gets arrested and is put in the same prison as Uco. Rama successfully gains Uco's trust by saving his life during a violent riot intended to cover up his assassination. Two years later, Rama is released from prison and Uco picks him up to meet Bangun who hires Rama out of gratitude, but not before being stripped of his clothes and checked for recording equipment. After earning Bangun's complete trust, Rama is sent to assist Uco in extorting a local smut dealer named Topan, who puts up a fight. Emerging victorious, Rama meets up with Uco at a local karaoke club, with Uco drunkenly admitting that he is frustrated with his limited role in his father's organization and thinks that he deserves to be involved in the family's bigger operations. Distracted, Uco violently harasses a karaoke escort. Rama uses this opportunity to secretly plant a bug in Uco's wallet.

During this event, Prakoso, Bangun's eldest enforcer is sent to protect the family's territories from Bejo's gangs. The next day, he meets with his estranged wife at a restaurant, where it is revealed that she will file for divorce if Prakoso does not renounce his criminal life.

Days later, Uco secretly meets with rival Bejo, who shares his plot to force the Yakuza out of Jakarta. Bejo hands Uco a box cutter and presents the captured gang members responsible for the prison riot assassination attempt as parley. The two then hatch a plan to start a gang war between Bangun and Goto, with Uco foolishly believing that he could prove his worth to his father and also give Bejo free reign over Goto's territory, thus ushering in a new era of peace in the criminal underworld of Jakarta, with the support of police commissioner Reza.

Uco then tries to convince Prakoso, Bangun's most loyal hitman, to join him, but after being told to calm his temper and prove his worth honorably to Bangun, Uco is dismayed leaves the club as Bejo's goons step in. Prakoso defends himself against the gangsters, almost escaping, only to be killed by the Assassin, Bejo's top enforcer. Uco tries to convince Bangun that Prakoso's death was caused by Goto's men, but Bangun refuses to retaliate. Frustrated, Uco tells Bejo to have his two hitmen, siblings Hammer Girl and Baseball Bat Man, killed several of Goto's men. When Bangun and Goto meet to discuss the situation, Uco lashes out in anger, embarrassing Bangun into conceding territory. After returning to their office, Bangun beats Uco, berating him for meaninglessly disrupting the peace between the two organizations.

Meanwhile, Rama is suddenly attacked by Reza’s corrupt cops, but manages to defeat them. While recovering from the attack, Rama is urgently called to Bangun's office by Bangun's advisor, Eka. Before Rama makes his way to Bangun's office, Bejo arrives with the Assassin and a mob of henchmen. Uco finally reveals his betrayal by killing his father and wounding Eka. Before Bejo can finish Eka off, Rama intervenes, giving Eka the chance to escape, but is subdued by the Assassin and driven away to be executed. Eka rescues Rama in a violent car chase, but is critically injured in the process. Before Rama leaves, Eka reveals to Rama that he always knew Rama was working undercover. Meanwhile, Goto's henchman Ryuichi informs Goto of Uco's betrayal and that Reza is meeting Bejo and Uco. Enraged at this betrayal, Goto declares war on all the involved perpetrators.

Outside Bejo's restaurant, Rama calls Lt. Bunawar. He tells Rama that Eka had abandoned his police duties, choosing to remain with Bangun as his advisor. Bunawar also warns Rama that a gang war had begun after Bunawar's direct superior had been assassinated. He also informs Rama of the meeting place between Reza, Bejo, and Uco. Rama receives assurances that his family is safe before hanging up on Bunawar.

Still shaken after killing his father, Uco discovers Rama's bug in his wallet. He then also notices Bejo has the same tattoo as the inmate assassin Benny, finally realizing that he has been used as a pawn by Bejo. Rama attacks Bejo's restaurant and makes his way through, mercilessly taking down many of Bejo's henchmen including Hammer Girl and Baseball Bat Man. He then meets the Assassin, whom he finally defeats after an incredibly intense, brutal and bloody battle.

Rama finally makes his way to Bejo and disrupts the meeting. Bejo pulls out a shotgun to deal with Rama, critically wounding him, then calls commissioner Reza for help, attempting to throw one in his direction. Uco intercepts it instead, who turns to shoot Reza and Bejo. Seeing this as an opportunity to eliminate most of his foes, Uco begins to fire at Rama. However, mere seconds before succeeding, Rama throws the Assassin's karambit at Uco, grazing him in the face and leaving him momentarily stunned. Rama seizes the opportunity, leaps from his hiding place and fatally stabs Uco. Weakened and exhausted after the fight, Rama limps away from the premises and encounters Goto's men led by Goto's son Keichi who were sent to attack the meeting. While Lt. Bunawar drives to the site, Keichi smirks as he silently offers a deal to Rama, who responds with a definitive: "No... I'm done."

Production

[edit]

Development

[edit]

Writer-director Gareth Evans decided to make the sequel after The Raid hit at the box office.[12] He saw it as an opportunity to receive funding for a script he wrote in 2009, Berandal, which he had trouble funding for two years.[12][13] Berandal was originally conceived as a standalone action drama film which incorporates bigger action scenes and according to Evans tells the story of "a young guy who goes into prison, befriends the son of a mob boss, comes out, joins him as an enforcer and then has to survive a gang war".[12][13] After The Raid, Evans began significantly rewriting the Berandal script to connect its storyline with that of the first film; the process included tweaking the protagonist's character motivation and adding a police procedural subplot.[13]

Casting and filming

[edit]

Julie Estelle was cast as "Hammer Girl" in December 2012; Evans also tweeted that internationally renowned silat practitioner Cecep Arif Rahman was also given a major part in the film.[14] Marsha Timothy, Mathias Muchus, Tio Pakusadewo, and Alex Abbad, who worked with Evans in Merantau, were also cast in the film.[14] Japanese actors Matsuda Ryuhei (known for his roles in Taboo and Nana), Kenichi Endō (known for his roles in Crows Zero, Crows Zero 2 and Dead or Alive 2: Birds) and Kitamura Kazuki, known for his roles in Young Thugs: Innocent Blood, Dead or Alive and Ley Lines, but also known for being the only one of the three Japanese actors appeared in Indonesian films, following his appearance in the 2014 film Killers.[15]

Evans also revealed on Twitter that Yayan Ruhian, who played Mad Dog in The Raid, will return for the sequel as a new character called Prakoso,[16] the machete-wielding chief assassin of Bangun. He claimed that he would not do a martial arts film without Ruhian being involved.[17] Ruhian, who is a choreographer of the film, also trained Estelle in pencak silat.[18]

In January 2013, PT Merantau Films and XYZ Films announced the start of production.[19][20][21] The filming process took about seven months and ended in July 2013.[22]

The film's lead cinematographer Matt Flannery tweeted that at least three RED cameras were used in a test shoot of a chase scene.[23][24] Gareth Evans mentioned 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.[25]

Marketing

[edit]

A teaser trailer was released at Twitch Film on 6 November 2013.[26] The Hollywood Reporter stated that the trailer "unleashes more action than most Hollywood blockbusters."[27] A longer Indonesian trailer was released on 31 December 2013.[28] The American trailer was released on 21 January 2014.[29][30][31][32] On 26 March 2014, a deleted scene (given the title "Gang War") was released to promote the film.[33]

International release

[edit]

The film was marketed internationally through Celluloid Nightmares, a partnership between US-based XYZ Films and France's Celluloid Dreams.[34][35]

Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions acquired the film's distribution rights for the United States,[5] Latin America and Spain; and Kadokawa Pictures for Japan.[6] Distribution rights to other countries were sold to eOne Entertainment for Canada and the United Kingdom; Koch Media for Germany, Switzerland and Austria; Calinos Films for Turkey; HGC for China; and Madman Entertainment for Australia.[35][36]

The film had its world premiere at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival on 21 January 2014.[37] It also screened at South by Southwest on 10 March 2014[38] and ARTE Indonesia Arts Festival on 14 March 2014.[39] Following 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 occurred during the theatrical run of the first film.[40]

Censorship

[edit]

The Raid 2 was banned in neighboring Malaysia.[41] The film was scheduled to hit Malaysian screens on 28 March, but had not been shown anywhere in the country due to its excessive violence.[42] Indonesian politician, and former Army Chief of Staff, Pramono Edhie Wibowo criticized the decision and demanded an explanation. He further asked the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to "actively perform its mediation function with the Malaysian government."[43]

The US release was given an R rating by the MPAA for "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] The film received an R-15 rating in Japan with 4 minutes cut, and an R-18 uncut version which was screened in the Tokyo metropolitan area.[47]

Reception

[edit]

Box office

[edit]

In Indonesia, the film sold 1,434,272 tickets at the box office in 2014.[48]

Overseas, the film grossed $2,627,209 in the United States and Canada.[49] In Japan, it grossed ¥22 million ($207,655) at the box office.[50] In other overseas territories outside Indonesia, the film grossed $3,939,707,[51] for an overseas total of $6,774,571 outside of Indonesia.

Home media

[edit]

In the United States, the film grossed $4.14 million from physical DVD and Blu-ray sales, as of April 2022.[52] In the United Kingdom, The Raid 2 was 2015's best-selling foreign-language film on home video.[53]

Critical response

[edit]

As of January 2022, the film has an approval rating of 82% on review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 175 reviews, with an average rating of 7.50/10. 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."[54] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 71 out of 100 based on reviews from 34 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[55]

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."[56]

In 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."[57] 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[o] many others."[57]

Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian gave the film 4 out of 5 stars and wrote that it "may not have the first Raid's absolute novelty, and the plot is a bit superfluous. But the sheer mayhem-stamina of this followup is really staggering."[58] Henry Barnes of The Guardian gave it 3 out of 5 stars, writing "Out of the tower block and into Jakarta's crime underworld, Gareth Evans's gory sequel is even more violent – you'll thrill despite yourself."[59]

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."[60]

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."[61] Glenn Kenny of RogerEbert.com gave the film 2 out of 4 stars, and wrote "The action stuff in The Raid 2, while likely to alienate the squeamish and summon dark thoughts of cinematic nihilism amongst overthinking highbrows, really IS like nothing else out there."[62]

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."[63]

Rolling Stone chief critic 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."[64]

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."[65]

Matt Risley of Total Film gave the film 5 stars and wrote: "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."[66]

Possible cancelled sequel

[edit]

On 6 January 2014, media outlets quoted director Gareth Evans stating that The Raid 3 would take place two hours before the end of The Raid 2.[75][76] On 19 April, during an interview with Metro, director Evans said that he is planning to take a break from martial arts movies for two or three years before filming it.[77][78] On 21 January 2015, Evans responded on Twitter, "The Raid 3 isn't going to be happening anytime soon. Ideas in my head. Nothing written. No set date. 2018/19 possibly."[79]

In a November 2016 interview with Impact, Evans stated the third film was no longer going forward with the franchise likely having ended, stating, "Moving back to UK felt like a closing chapter on that franchise—we ended the story pretty neatly (I feel) in Part 2. I'm aware there's an interest for it [...] So never say never, but it's unlikely to happen anytime soon."[80]
