first try

After reading the well-received RAID 2, I went back to see the RAID 1. I
finally understood that the key to the film industry is to have money. Yes, it's that simple. The investment determines the quality of the film.
The investment is in place, a good photographer, a good location, a good supporting role, and even the clothing temperament, are not of the same grade.
Right, you put the hammer girl in 2 and try it in 1, just like wearing a suit and going to the field to plant rice, the style is full of twists.

It should be said that 1 is the first combination of director Evans + Uwais + Mad Dog. It can be clearly seen that the protagonist is still a little jerky in front of the camera.
In comparison, the character with the righteousness and evil in 2, like Tony Leung in "Infernal Affairs", is more in line with the overall style of the movie.

When the layman talks about fighting, he feels that the boy on the white-pink table is even more competitive with the protagonist. The mad dog's skills are good, but his strength and toughness are still inferior.

RAID 2 has already reached a high level, and I expect Evans to take it to the next level, at least to build a trilogy to the audience.

The Raid: Redemption quotes

  • Jaka: [talking to his S.W.A.T. team] Okay, listen up. Our target is Tama Riyadi. I'm sure most of you know who I'm talking about. This man has become something of a legend in the underworld. Pushers, gangs, killers, they all respect him like a god. For the past 10 years his building has been a no-go zone for police. I don't care how big he is or who is behind him, he must be stopped. That enterprising fuck's been renting out rooms like it's an apartment, to any low-life piece of shit looking to keep his head down. Our mission is simple: we go in, and we take him out!

  • Rama: They'll come here. They'll tear this place to the ground.

    Andi: We'll be long gone before they get here.

    Rama: Then why do you stay?

    Andi: For the same reason you stayed in that uniform - it just fits.
