The action set pieces were creative, from decimating prisoners in mud to a frantic car chase in downtown Jakarta.majestic. Evidently, watching this is releasing my inner murderous personality. ![]() The choreography was perfection, I've never shouted "YEAH! STAB HIM!!" so much. The Indonesian Terminator from the predecessor has now been substituted by a hammer wielding deaf girl, a well aimed baseball bat wielding guy (who can kill by hitting baseballs with insane precision.) and the ultimate blade wielding badass since Blade himself. ![]() This, as an action film, is absolutely insane. So the long runtime and slow paced first half are my only complaints. Could've easily established the power hungry Uco, who has major daddy issues, in a solid 20 minutes as opposed to an hour. This did not need to be 150 minutes long, at all. I'll start with the negatives, the first half was an absolute drag. Massive props to Gareth Evans, I tip my SnapBack off to you sir! So in this sequel we follow our sole survivor, Rama, who must go undercover in order to protect his family from his new hardcore reputation that is making him popular in the criminal underworld. Martial arts have never looked this thrilling since.ever. Every kick, every punch and every head smash was filmed to absolute perfection. Ohhhhh myyyyyy lorddddd I couldn't keep me eyes off those fight scenes. Trust me.The Raid 2 has the most insane choreography I've ever seen. Watch it and you will not be disappointed. So whether or not your kids can watch it, I recommend this movie to every action fan in the world. So for drinking drugs and smoking, I'd give that a 0/10. They can watch this movie if you're okay with all of the other content. There is none of this that I can remember, so if you are worried about your kids seeing drugs, that's fine. On to the last category, drinking drugs and smoking. There is absolutely NO consumerism at all, but I don't know why you'd be worried about your kids seeing stuff like that any way so, yeah. I'd give the language, cursing, swearing, whatever you want to call it a 10/10. (although they do say the c-t word.) So, yeah. They barely say any other curse word than the f word. On to the swearing, there is a lot of cursing. And that's not even bad because it's just a women with an expanded stomach! So for sex I'd give it a rating of 0/10. No genitals shown at all, just her stomach. If I was asked to name one thing sexual about this movie, all I would say is that you see a women's stomach when she's pregnant. If your child can handle John Wick or Kinsman, they might be able to handle this awesome action flick as well. People don't get their heads cut off, and there isn't a lot of blood, but people are stabbed and hit extremely hard with axes. On to the violence, I'd give that a 9/10. Iko Uwais is a total role model for me, but in the movie, there isn't much besides the fact that the main character, Rama, is attempting to fight his way out of the building so that he can see his wife again in time for them to have their kid. It is just a bunch of guys in a building trying to fight their way out. There are no real GOOD messages but there aren't BAD messages either. My father told me that some things in this movie that the actors did were to dangerous to do in the U.S, so INDONESIA ROCKS!!!!! Let's move on to the content. ![]() I tried to look up how to choreograph a fight scene, some moves that I could do, and how to film it. AWESOME CHOREOGRAPHY! After I watched the movie, I wanted to make fight scenes with all of my friends. This movie introduced me to something called. The Raid: Redemption is my favorite action film, tied with The Raid 2: Berandal. If you're an action fan, I'm sure you'll love this movie!! Also: Iko Uwais kicks ass as the hero Rama!! There is a lot of violence and some blood, as well as some swearing which includes a use of the C-word (all in subtitles, as this is an Indonesian movie), so I'd recommend this film for ages 15 and up. One thing I hate in non-romantic movies (especially action movies) is romance, I think it's horribly overdone and a stupid, soppy and repetitive gimmick made just so couples can go and watch the movie, which could also be said as NO REASON AT ALL!! It's just stupid, cringy and horrible, so I was pleased to find that there is very little romance here. Great thing is, there's not that much room to breathe for all the people who like pauses for breath! The action here is simply breathtaking. The action is awesomely done as well, I loved how constant the action is in this movie. ![]() Constant action in this movie, which goes from suspense to shootout to fight to shootout to fight to shootout to fight.Whew, I think I need to take a breath. This is an AWESOME MOVIE!!! There is non-stop, entertaining action throughout, and this is one damn hell of a thrill ride. The Raid is one of the greatest action movies I've ever seen.
