After fighting his way through an apartment building populated by an army of dangerous criminals and escaping with his life, SWAT team member Rama goes undercover, joining a powerful Indonesian crime syndicate to protect his family and uncover corrupt members of his own force.

The Raid 2 is more ambitious than the original, with a more complex story and some of the best choreographed and directed action sequences ever made. What more could a hardcore action fan ask for?...
A lot more involved than the original _Raid_ film, with a more complex story taking place over more time and in more places.

_Final rating:★★★½ - I really liked it. Would strongly recommend you give it your time._...

Our hero from "The Raid" goes undercover to expose police corruption and lands in the middle of a power struggle. Holy cow... what a banger this is! Over 4 stars is rare for me but for good reason.
