Gareth Evans’ The Raid: Redemption
pummeled us all about the face and neck, delivering the best martial arts
actioner since we all discovered Ong Bak. After blowing our
minds, the movie left us asking what he was going to do next, and if it was
possible to top the frenetic pace and incredible action. I don’t know if the
sequel, The Raid 2: Berendal will exceed the first—that’s a
tall order—but this new trailer makes it look like he’s going for it with
insane gusto. For the follow up Evans reteamed with star Iko Uwais, and holy
shit, Berendal looks gorgeous, epic, and, most importantly,
crazy violent. And as intense as this footage is, Edwards assures us that all
we see in this trailer is “Act 1 setup.” If this is only the beginning, what
the hell are we in for? I can’t wait to find out.
