Following immediately after the events of THE RAID, Rama (Iko Uwais) is forced to reinvent himself as an undercover cop in order to provide protection for his wife and child. Working for the anti-corruption taskforce led by the one person he can trust, Bunawar, he is given a mission to engage himself as an enforcer for a local mob boss, Bangun. Finding a way in through Bangun's son Uco, Rama must hunt for information linking Bangun with police force corruption. All the while, he harbors a dangerous and personal vendetta for revenge and justice that threatens to consume him, and bring both this mission and the organized crime syndicates crashing down.

Much like the first one the story is small but the action is large. I would recommend this for the "kitchen scene" alone. Remarkable choreography, training and dedication to their craft.

The best fighting choreography to date for me. I can watch it over and over and over again and be mesmerized by the fluidity of the fighting. No robotic, choppy, stop-and-go fighting that you see from "untrained" people trying to portray a fight scene. Simplistic story carried out by the brutality on screen.

One of the best comedies you'll ever see. Smart comedy and dumb comedy blended so effortlessly. You don't get long-lasting comedic value from movies currently like Mel Brooks is able to present in Spaceballs, Blazing Saddles, Robin Hood Men In Tights, etc. Must watch for anybody who wants to laugh.

One of the best storytelling movies I've seen. It keeps you interested throughout and doesn't hit a lull. The lineup scene is one of my favorites in any movie. Don't usually like movies that have a twist/reveal ending for replay value, but it's so well-constructed that I can watch it whenever and not get bored.

Lots of people are torn on this because it almost felt like two movies - an interesting opening that leads to an amalgam of flashbacks during the present (I didn't mind) that then falls into a gigantic destruction movie (in my opinion). Does it have problems? Yes. With any analyzing though, all movies do. I enjoyed it overall and recommend it for anyone interested in a "darker" superhero movie.

Diverse characters that are actually incredibly funny while everything is going wrong around them - "Dinosaurs eat man. Woman inherits the earth." Couldn't beat getting it on sale for a few bucks either. everyone should own it. High replay value.
