Gareth Evans’ high-octane The Raid was masterful, so I can’t wait to feast my eyes on the sequel The Raid 2: Berandal, which is starts just hours after the first movie ended. The film opens on March 28th and while we wait for this martial arts extravaganza, here are 10 minutes of behind the scenes that gives us the basic plot but also of the action sequences that we will see, including one of best car chases you’ll ever see.
The Raid 2: Berandal stars Iko Uwais (The Raid), Julie
Estelle (Macabre), Alex Abbad (Merantau), Marsha Timothy (The Forbidden Door),
Mathias Muchus, Tio Pakusadewo, and Cecep Arif Rahman.
The Raid 2: Berandal Synopsis:
He thought it was over. After fighting his way out of
a building filled with gangsters and madmen – a fight that left the bodies of
police and gangsters alike piled in the halls – rookie Jakarta cop Rama thought
it was done and he could resume a normal life. He couldn’t have been more
wrong.
Formidable though they may have been, Rama’s opponents
in that fateful building were nothing more than small fish swimming in a pond
much larger than he ever dreamed possible. And his triumph over the small fry
has attracted the attention of the predators farther up the food chain. His
family at risk, Rama has only one choice to protect his infant son and wife: He
must go undercover to enter the criminal underworld himself and climb through
the hierarchy of competing forces until it leads him to the corrupt politicians
and police pulling the strings at the top of the heap.
And so Rama begins a new odyssey of violence, a
journey that will force him to set aside his own life and history and take on a
new identity as the violent offender “Yuda.” In prison he must gain the
confidence of Uco – the son of a prominent gang kingpin – to join the gang
himself, laying his own life on the line in a desperate all-or-nothing gambit
to bring the whole rotten enterprise to an end.
