The Raid works like a video game. 20 elite police officers storm a high-rise building and the crime boss is waiting on the top 30th floor. That means brutal action without end, and it’s even available in a double pack: The Raid 2 is shown on TV immediately afterwards.
What is The Raid about?
The premise of the first film is as ingenious as it is simple. The elite police unit is supposed to arrest a crime boss and To do this, he infiltrates a high-rise building in Jakarta. Cartel boss Tama Riyandi (Ray Sahetapy) is waiting at the top and offers a prize for the police when they are discovered on the sixth floor. What follows is pure escalation.
That’s what The Raid 2 is about
Just two hours after the events of The Raid, it continues straight away. Newcomer Rama (Iko Uwais) goes into hiding and is supposed to be infiltrated into a criminal organization. To do this, he first has to wait two years in Jakarta’s toughest prison. Then there is a war of the clans because the newcomer Bejo is shaking everything up.

In The Raid the story doesn’t really matter, what matters is breakneck action
What’s going on in The Raid defies description. Director Gareth Evans and Silat martial arts master Iko Uwais
don’t hesitate and take no prisoners. Here you press the accelerator pedal straight down and never step off it again. If you want to see how tons of nasties are really renovating the dining room, you’ve come to the right place.
The Raid 2 says goodbye to the methodical narrowness of the high-rise building, but compensates for this with more variety. But here, too, it’s basically just non-stop full pound on the mouth, and again in breathtaking quality. The two films set off ultra-hard action fireworks like no otherthat your jaw will drop.
