Released in 2014, the Indonesian film Raid 2 Thugs follows the first Raid and tells the story of SWAT team member Rama who is ordered to infiltrate a criminal organization in Jakarta as an undercover agent to investigate corrupt forces within the police station in collusion with criminals.
The film lasts 2.5 hours, and at the end of the first war, Rama tries to return to the police station from the drug dealer's hiding place when he receives a new task temporarily assigned by his superior, Tamma. This time, Rama will infiltrate the syndicate gang crime group in Jakarta as an undercover agent, and blend into the gang fight between the two major local gangster families, protecting the family and finding out the corruption problem within the police
The film begins with the plot of "Raid 1", swat officer Rama's brother is killed by the gang, the protagonist in order to protect his family and eradicate the violent organization, he goes to the prison alone, looking for the opportunity to enter the gang organization. Newcomers go to prison, beatings are inevitable, the protagonist at the beginning of the film in prison singled out 15 people, can be described as a world war fame.
The violence in the prison is continuous, and the protagonist has always been a god-like being, fighting a large number of prison thugs for the mission. The picture below shows a more brilliant team battle in the movie, with a grand scene and a large number of participants. However, the protagonist breaks the opponent's left leg with his bare hands, which still feels a bit far-fetched. After the great battle, the protagonist saves the key characters and successfully enters the gang a, becoming a member of the organization.
Gang A organization masters gathered, the most powerful of which was this sad "long-haired uncle", one person singled out dozens of people in the nightclub, but unfortunately, due to lack of physical strength, he was finally finished by "Mr. Lu Xun", one of the three masters of the gang B. In this extremely shocking fight, we not only saw the Indonesian Sulet martial arts, but also saw the Chinese shape and intention boxing, eight pole boxing and Wing Chun moves.
The three masters of gang b, in addition to the "Mr. Lu Xun" who is good at fighting and knife skills, there is also the violent "baseball brother" pictured below, the little brother is extremely fierce, a stick goes to the world, and he specializes in all kinds of disobedience, I don't know if he has a relationship with South Korea.
The last of the three masters is the most brilliant character in the whole film - "Hammer Girl", "Hammer Girl" is a deaf mute, and the weapon is two ram's horn hammers. She has fair skin on the surface and a good face, but her hands are very violent, and her combat effectiveness in the battle of the subway is bursting, which makes people feel pain when they look at it!
But don't forget, our protagonist is never defeated is a million enemies, in the face of the police encirclement and suppression, he shot sharply, empty-handed to seize the white blade, backhand to kill people. While completely annihilating the enemy, he also showed his superb cooking skills - face teppanyaki.
In order to save his companions, the protagonist accidentally reveals the identity of the undercover. After settling in his companions, he broke into the gang base camp alone, like a hanging, god blocked the killing of god, Buddha blocked the killing of Buddha, all the way to the gang's nest.
Entering the old nest, of course, you have to face the three masters, the brave Rama single-handedly picked out the "baseball brother" and "hammer girl", this pair of bitter Mandarin ducks are excellent in martial arts, but still can not resist the protagonist of the hanging, tragically died under the protagonist's fist.
The protagonist faces the last master, "Mr. Lu Xun", and the two first try to compete with each other in the form of a competition. Later, he really couldn't control his own flood power, so he fought hard. "Mr. Lu Xun's" combat effectiveness exploded, and whether it was boxing, leging or knife skills, they all reached the pinnacle. Unfortunately, Rama's protagonist's aura is too dazzling, and he eventually dies on the shoulder of the protagonist.
Eventually, Rama kills the gangsters of Gang a and b, and the story ends. From the plot point of view, the plot of "Raid 2 Thugs" is somewhat messy, and it is difficult to capture the development of the plot. However, the fight scene still continues the sincerity of the first part, and the effect is very shocking.
This film pays tribute to many classic movies, such as: "Tangshan Big Brother", "Uncle", "Ip Man", "The Matrix", etc., the director uses handheld photography long lens shooting method, so that the actors in the picture fight and the audience's intuitive feelings maintain synchronization, in the small panorama into the actor's reaction and close-up violence details, on the one hand, enrich the diversity of the lens, speed up the rhythm of editing, on the other hand, also make up for the lack of actor kung fu.
The literary drama is too weak is a major flaw in this film, but the fighting style of the hard bridge hard horse still makes this film score a high score of 7.8 on Douban.
After the release of "Raid 2 Thugs", the highest response in the film is not the protagonist with extraordinary skills, but the "hammer girl" and "long-haired uncle", which add a lot of plot and highlights to the whole film, which is impressive and unforgettable!
