The cold, simple and rough style is back again, but this time it's more violent!

If you had to say what I felt after watching Raid 1, it would be in one word: cool! The plot of 1 is simple and clear. It is like playing a horizontal game for hours to clear the level. The male protagonist fights all the way to the end to kill the boss. There are no fancy blasting scenes, no racing cars, no beautiful women. The prime surge, and now the return of Raid 2, let me express my feelings in one sentence: let the storm come more violently!

The plot can still be ignored. As an enhanced version, all aspects of the film have been strengthened. There are many group fight scenes, more brutal organ blows and more bone cracking sounds. First, I am very satisfied. It may be that in the past ten years, action films have reached a bottleneck. More are magic films combined with computer special effects, mainly science fiction films, and there are fewer and fewer pure martial arts films similar to the previous Hong Kong films. Earlier Thailand Some movies such as "King Ba" make people vaguely see the recovery of typical martial arts kung fu movies, while Raid is an Indonesian movie. Before Raid 1, it was really an Indonesian movie and I hadn't seen it, but after Raid 2, I still found the style. The presentation is bolder and more self-contained (although you could say you see a lot of A, B, C in it).

The opening of the film is a little confusing, and those who haven't watched 1 may feel a little dizzy. To put it bluntly, the film is that the internal FB of the JC system is unbearable. As the incarnation of justice, the male protagonist Rama goes deep into the enemy's interior to find evidence to avenge his brother's murder, of course, this It is a very popular theme nowadays, which is a satire on ZF. However, as an action movie fan, the focus is whether the play is exciting enough, so after explaining the plot, the toilet war is about to break out. It was mentioned just now that compared to the first part, this film has several gang fight scenes. There are 3 scenes in the film. This toilet fight is the 1st scene. There are almost 20 people beating and beating one person. The army has been wiped out. Some people may say that the male protagonist is in a typical open-hung state, but the film cleverly arranged a toilet cubicle, so one husband is the one who is in charge and ten thousand people are not allowed to open it. Many can only queue up to eat Guoguo one by one, so the male protagonist used various street fighting skills, using doors and walls to complete a series of double kills, big kills, especially one soy sauce who wanted to get out of the toilet door The design of the direct attack on the egg is really a bit "egg pain" to watch. Since this is the opening scene of the film, the tone of the two and a half hours of the film has also been set. There are two more group fight scenes in the back, the prison square and the warehouse, especially the warehouse scene. The various joint skills are really enjoyable to watch, so I will not elaborate here.

After talking about the big scene of the group play, let's look at the biggest selling point of martial arts! By the way, the uncle with braids in 1 actually appeared again, although this time the dragon set up the cup, and this is a digression. The highlight is that this time the male protagonist pulls the horse's kung fu bridge. The action routines designed are more diverse and rich, boxing. , feet, legs, elbows, combined punches, and use it with various environments, such as walls, steps, and the ground. If you have played a game called Sleeping Dogs, it is estimated that you will feel more here when you see it, you can It is said to be dazzling, all kinds of X hands X feet X head X neck, I feel a little pain when I look at it, and the better thing than 1 is that this time there is no feeling of weakness in the follow-up, and the movements and fights are all clean and neat. In several scenes, it may be a design problem. After the last set of actions of Lama and the enemy's mutual blog, the ending is weak. The impression that the screen shows is that the male protagonist has no strength after the fight. So after overcoming some of the deficiencies in 1, in 2, in addition to strengthening the intensity of the action scenes, it actually added a lot of entertainment.

If you have watched 1, you should remember the evil and provocative smile of Uncle Braid before the duel in 1. Facing the aura of the male protagonist, he still looks extremely confident. This time, the boss's subordinates are also fighters with fighting skills, and this time it is 3, 1 is a baseball man, 1 is a woman with sunglasses, and an uncle with a flat head. It is worth mentioning that the baseball man and the woman with sunglasses are in charge of acting cool, and the other is a man who likes to hit people's brains with baseball bats. Dude, it's a bit mad and cool, and the other is a tall girl who likes to hit people's heads with 2 hammers. It's a bit like coming out of an anime, and the scene of the girl with sunglasses in the subway is also a must. Think of using the upturned part of the hammer as a weapon, it's simply the best weapon for squatting cramps. Of course, the last battle is expected to be the refurbishment of the uncle with the braid in 1 mile against Lama, but this time the performance is even more exciting! When he came up, Uncle Flathead was very confident. He also played with Lama for a while. After a decisive stalemate, the male protagonist made an old punch that caused the uncle to straighten up. Ma decisively hangs up again. During the period, the action design is full of punches. These four words may be used badly. Well, I can't find a better adjective. I have a mouthful of phlegm, you take one, I take two, and everyone comes together to take the rhythm of three. There is no urine point in the whole process. The impression of the final defeat is one word: tragic. This scene reminds me of the first duel between Kenjiro and Rao that I watched when I was a child. The two people drew blood from each other until they lost their strength.

Looking back at these two raids now, they are indeed rare action films. Maybe only the elite troops in Brazil can compete in recent years. I sincerely recommend it to fans of action films. You will not be disappointed. For the last fight, I will give 5 stars~
