Movie Review: The Raid 2: Berandal (2014)

This movie could have been the only one movie so far that I have longed for it to come out since I watched the first installment of the movie. Being Indonesian movie, acted, directed, and produced here in Indonesia, it could be the most successful Indonesian movie that successfully represents Indonesia in the world movie scenes.

After garnering such positive reviews and financial successes from the first movie, the second one is produced in a much better quality, much more budget, many more great actors, much more visual effects, and much better fighting choreography. In other words, The Raid 2 is simply much better than The Raid 1.

My Thought on THE RAID 2: BERANDAL (2014):

  • On Storyline (75/100): Not like the first one, The Raid 2 has enough storyline to say that it's a great fighting movie that has content, not just an action movie that solely rely its strength on the fighting scenes. The storyline is actually quiet great and has twists.
  • On Casts (85/100): This movie is very well acted by the main actors. Yes, there are some parts that could have been better. But, I think this movie already provides me with all I can ask for on the quality of the casts
  • On Visual Effects (95/100): Do you know some movies that you couldn't even know how the directors make it? Have you ever gone like "How the heck do they make it look like that?"...... Yes, this is one of those movies. All the ruthless fighting and killing scenes are really awesome.
  • On Fighting Scenes (95/100): Anybody who like movies with gory stuffs, ruthless killing, and great martial art fighting NEED TO, HAVE TO, WILL WANT TO see this movie. Period.


Honestly, this is one of the best Indonesian movies I have ever seen. Plus, it sells and gains such positive reviews all over the world. It's a very recommended movie to watch, you wouldn't waste on a buck.
