The Raid 2

The Raid 2, also known as The Raid: Retaliation, is a 2014 Indonesian action thriller film written, directed and edited by the Welsh filmmaker Gareth Evans. 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 the 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 like its predecessor. Plot Immediately after helping his brother Rama take down his boss in the previous film, Jakarta gang boss Andi is captured and executed by another criminal named Bejo. Meanwhile, Rama brings his injured squadmate Bowo and corrupt superior Lt. Wahyu to meet Lt. Bunawar, head of an internal investigation unit. Bunawar sends Bowo away to be treated and has Wahyu killed under the pretense of keeping Rama safe from other crooked cops and asks Rama to help him expose police chief Reza's crooked dealings with the Bangun and Goto crime syndicates. Rama initially refuses, but agrees after learning of Andi's death.
