The Raid Full Length Reaction

Looking forward to this reaction. The Raid 2 is even more wild and my favorite action movie.

Woooh what a nice surprise!

Love this movie

Hell yeah, really blindsided me. One of my favorite action flicks and the one Roger Ebert and me disagreed about the most (Cloud Atlas and his love for it easily being the one I align with entirely in contrast).

HIGHLY recommend the sequel as well! It's even more crazy!

Also: Gangs of London is a real banger too from Gareth Evans with many of his signature idioms finding their way into the show. Possibly not quite as well-liked, but if you enjoy the Raid movies, this is probably right up your alley and it was pretty acclaimed either way.

Out of nowhere, can't wait to see your reaction to this

As for the movie itself: I just love everything. The choreography alone could carry the movie, but the plot is sufficiently intriguing and all the other elements really tie everything together - it's incredible how much you can make pure gray and rotting buildings look like heaven. Huge, huge shoutout to Mike Shinoda too, the dude makes incredible music and I loved his quarantine music production streams so much. Insanely humble too, and he entirely captured the tone of the movie. What a huge theme tease too you noticed, Brandon, I still remember my first time watching it and getting hooked by that little hook ultimately closing out the movie. Acting is pretty solid as well, and I just dig getting into all kinds of different cultures and their idioms (or how the writers and directors in this case frame them) - very accessible movie but the subtitles betray some interesting idioms and language, another thing that captures my eye. Gorgeous flick. As others pointed out, Raid 2 is pretty much as great as the first part. I am baffled by how good of a team you can get together to make a movie.

The Raid 2 is absolutely insane!!!

Night Comes For Us has the main guy from the Raid and a couple of the other actors and the fight scenes are just as epic. It's on netflix

That cop from the first fight with the main bad guy (who fought the brothers later) was in the tv show Warrior and played Sub Zero in the new Mortal Kombat film. He's great.

If you love this movie you should give Gangs of London a shot, by the same director.
