Two years ago, the Indonesian film, “The Raid: Redemption”, smacked action movie fans upside the head. To briefly sum it up, it was nuts. The straight-forward plot took a backseat to some amazing stunt work, an insane amount of creative choreography and in-your-face violence. There’s no need to worry about the sequel not living up to the original with this film, since the highly-anticipated “The Raid 2: Berandal” is bigger and faster and even offers an indepth story to wrap your brain around – which getting hit upside the head once again.
