Raid 2 is like Hollywoods had it's hands all over it ... crap. Raid 1 brilliant.

I don't think hollywood has anything to do with the creation of this film.
It's no The Raid, but it's definitely an incredible movie on its own right.

I've taken pride in seeing every martial arts movie made. The Raid 2 has one of  the best choreographed fight scenes of all time.  It's certainly one of my favourites.

This is one of the deleted scenes from the movie if you haven't seen it.

Can't access that clip here in the US. I'm pretty certain I'll like The Raid 2 given the overwhelming positive reviews. It only played briefly in art house theaters here which is a shame. If people could look past the subtitle issue (which is always a half assed excuse imo), a movie like that could really appeal to a much broader audience.

I saw Raid 2 from Redbox and the entire film was dubbed in English , absolutely no subtitles at all ...................

Both the Raid and Raid 2 are amazing movies.  Yes violent but all part of the style and story so not like any of the Hollywood crap being put out.

The Raid is currently in production for a Hollywood remake ..............ugh

You will love it. Every action scene is a masterpiece in itself. Beautifully crafted scenes. Oh my gosh it's incredible.

Whenever Hollywood tries to remake a very popular foreign film it inevitably ends up looking like the crap spike lee did with Oldboy - watered down
