The film also offers some great new supporting players, and Hammer Girl ( Julie Estelle) makes for a memorable henchperson. But that also makes it the sort of film where you might fast forward to the next big set piece.
#THE RAID 2 BERANDAL BLURAY MOVIE#
It’s unfortunate a movie this long doesn’t have that same sense of build, but the film more than makes up for it by providing about ten of the best action set pieces that have been put to screen. This isn’t good enough to start an all-out war, but it’s coming, and Rama is in the middle between Bangun and Uco.Įvans may have bit off more than he could chew with this film in that it tries to go macro in terms of crime, and where working within the set of a building (and a 100 minute run time) meant that every detail in the first film builds in that film, whereas here you don’t have the same propulsive drive of climbing a building and knowing where you are in the story by what floor you’re on. Once out, it’s revealed that Uco has been teaming with Bejo to take over the all the crime in Indonesia, and to start things off, puts old veteran Prakoso ( Yayan Ruhian) in the crosshairs. Eventually Rama gets out and gets a job with Uco’s dad Bangun ( Tio Pakusodewo). There he does get close to Uco, but only after having to fight his way out of a bathroom and after protecting Uco from getting shanked in a muddy field which turns insane when the guards enter into the mix. To get his bonafides, Rama assaults a politician’s kid, which gets him an unexpected two years in prison. Rama agrees, partly because his brother was killed by the gangster Bejo ( Alex Abbad). If Rama really wants to make a different, he needs to go under cover, and get close to Uco ( Arifin Putra) who is the son of a very powerful gangster, but it means putting his wife in hiding and not seeing her for a very long time. The film starts with Rama being taken in by the good cops as many of the supporting character who survived the first film are eliminated from the story.
