The Raid 2

There's one or two films I can think of where, introducing a gun earlier on in the proceedings would certainly improve the situation. Not just for the protagonists involved but also, in the case of 'The Legend Of Hercules' the entire audience.. There are certain sections in 'The Raid 2' where a gun would have helped our hero. But thanks to Gareth Evans it wasn't required. Those who are familiar with his excellent directorial debut ('The Raid' in case you were wondering) will know what to expect here.. If I had to sum it up in one word that would be BRUTAL. Relentless and thrilling would also cover it..
Ah yes, synopsis, nearly forgot.. Iko Uwais plays Rama, the police man for the first film, and this time he's tasked with an undercover operation to route out the corrupt police.

To be fair I loved it (despite the constant sweaty palms and wincing). The action was, at times extraordinary! As you try to catch your breath another set piece (literally) kicks in.. The person sat behind me would occasionally vocalise what I was thinking with the odd 'owww..!' and 'oh my god'. Not to mention the odd 'Jesus Christ!!!'. If you are at all aversed to heads being crushed and limbs bending the wrong way I'd advise you not to see this film.. If that sort of stuff doesn't bother you, fill yer boots!

Another awesome offering from the Welsh man.. ****
