Rama purposely gets send to prison after beating up the son of a influential politican - in this way he gets close to Uco (son of Bangun, one of the leaders of Jakartan gangs).
Henceforth Rama is called "Yuda", since he had to fake his death to not get caught by one of the criminal clans. He convinces Rama to join his team on behalf of his family (in the meanwhile Rama became father of a son). Despite being a rookie cop in part of the operation, Sergeant Jaka nevertheless recruits him in need of manpower.Īfter the events of previous movie, Rama is soon contacted by Lieutenant Bunawar, one of a few honest police officer who tries to set up a secret task force to get rid of the corruption on the Jakarta Police. His true reason is to find his brother, Andi who is working as Tama's lieutenant and tries to convince him to leave his criminal life.
He volunteered to join the raid as part of the 20 men squad to take down a notorious crime lord named, Tama.
THE RAID 2 BERANDAL MOVIE
He is also married and has an unborn child as the movie starts. Rama later joined the police force and trained in Silat. His brother left the family for a criminal life as he felt he fit into it. John DeSando, a Los Angeles Press Club first-place winner for National Entertainment Journalism, hosts WCBE’s It’s Movie Time and co-hosts Cinema Classics.Not much is known in Rama's life except that he has an older brother, Andi. Baseball Bat Man says, “Bring back the ball.” It’s not what you’ve usually seen with the bat motif.įor this non-fan of violence, Raid 2 is an enjoyable romp in a weak time of year for films, even hoodlum epics. What sets Raid 2 off from The Raid: Redemption and other formulaic entries in this genre is director/writer Gareth Evans’ willingness to intersperse the warfare with dramatic situations involving the families’ warfare, patricide, and occasional soul-searching-not high drama, mind you, but at least a respite from the bone-crunching, blood-letting combat both forbidding and creative. The girl with two hammers is slick enough to wipe out a subway car of martial artists, a not-so-rare-anymore instance of women in this genre kicking serious butt. Ingenious but not high art is a man’s face cooked on a kitchen steamer, a shenanigan I hadn’t seen before. The set pieces are imaginative enough to make you forget the derivative nature of martial arts films, Jackie Chan’s humor notwithstanding.įor instance, the requisite car chase is imaginative for martial arts performed inside a speeding car with a grace and ingenuity that almost qualifies it as art.
The calling card of this epic is the martial arts in glorious variation from the standard chop-socky fare.
THE RAID 2 BERANDAL SERIES
It’s hard not to think of the Godfather series in the states and not difficult to discern the difference in the US’s emphasis on dialogue and character interaction. Rama ( IkoUwais, from the original The Raid: Redemption) joins the hoodlums of Jakarta as an undercover cop with the goal of exposing the syndicate and police corruption. Yes, Raid 2 is hardcore gang-war stuff set in Jakarta with the omerta (code of silence) well in place and families combating enemy families as well as their own. “You apologize! In their language, in our land! Where is your honor?” Ucock (Arifin Putra) The martial arts approach ballet, and the drama is not half bad, too.ĭirector: Gareth Evans (The Raid: Redemption)Ĭast: Iko Uwais (Merantau), Yayan Ruhian (Merantau)
