Raid 2: The Mob is the best action movie I've seen this year. Made in Indonesia, it has a strong taste but also a violent beauty.
The weapons are poor, they are basically hand-to-hand combat, the joints are flaky, the teeth are dropped, and the human face is burned on the iron plate! The fist is deadly, and the trick is to seek the soul. The use of weapons is also a bright spot. The machete "Mei Chaofeng", the hammer girl, the baseball killer, and the dwarf brother with a full moon scimitar, a killer appears in each section, and the housekeeping skills are brought out, oh my god!
I really didn't expect Indonesia to have such a level. Although there is no limit to bloody violence, it gives you a soft sloppy eye at the right editing point, so you can immediately close your mouth when your chin is half dropped, and continue to read.
The two-and-a-half-hour movie has an extremely simple storyline. It is nothing more than an undercover agent who has broken into the gang, and at the same time avenging his brother, he is also doing harm to the country. When we watch a movie, we usually say that there is one or two good scenes in it! But Raid 2: The Mob, there are at least 4 scenes, which are amazing! In the one-to-many fight in the toilet, the disadvantage of the narrow toilet space is turned into an advantage, and the detail rendering of the screw falling off the toilet door creates an effect that makes people lean over and watch the wasps fight in the box. In addition, the gang fight scene in the prison quagmire, the smooth transfer of the shots, and the processing of upgrading and downgrading are amazing! There are also drag racing shootout scenes and kitchen corridor showdown scenes, all of which give people a lively, peaked and violent beauty. Compared with some domestic action films that rely on special effects, props, stars, and passionate dramas, Raid 2: The Mob is worth learning from Chinese films! However, the restricted-level pictures also created that our domestic action films can only have a mild type like Wing Chun.
Raid 2: The opening chapter of the thugs, wide-angle, fields, and the composition in which the characters are placed in the lower left corner, reminded me of To Qifeng's gunfire and exile, and the style is very similar, but because of national conditions, culture, and institutions, the thugs It looks more primitive, fierce and bloody. However, this cannot deny the inherent artistic effect of this film of the mob. The scene setting, action design, camera switching, and editing rhythm are all worthy of our study.
I recommend this film, the implication is that we hope that our domestic action films can be like thugs, less pretentious and more real. Sprinkle some chili noodles for Wing Chun! ! You know!
