The Raid 2 never holds back from its violence. If they were breaking skulls in the process. Another fight in a soaked, muddy prison field at times looks comic, like children rolling around in the mud.

A nightclub scene introduces a verticality to the action, as the fighters move up and down from balconies and use tables and chairs as part of the dance. The environments in which these conflicts take place are fascinating and unique as well. The Raid 2 pushes this physical storytelling to the limits, and I found myself surprised over and over again with just how far the choreographers were able to push the fighting without repetition setting in. Where blockbuster films will focus on sharp, high impact fight sequences, Asian martial art films generally have choreography that tells a story in itself, with a slow escalation that builds towards a brutal conclusion. A one-on-one combat towards the end of the film is extended beyond comfortable watching, but like the most intricate of dances it is choreographed well beyond what you'll generally see in Hollywood.

In The Raid 2, the martial arts sequences are breathtaking. There are many variations of martial arts that are now called Pencak Silat, but generally speaking the style is characterised with a focus on strikes, joint manipulation, and throws. Although both films are the work of a Welsh filmmaker, Gareth Evans, The Raid 2 like its predecessor is authentically Indonesian not only for its location and actors, but also for its use of Pencak Silat, Indonesia's own contribution to the martial arts. The first was brilliant, and the sequel is brilliant.

With The Raid finding international acclaim (and being remade by Hollywood because apparently every popular international film must be) it was inevitable that there would be a sequel. The films that often defined Hong Kong cinema have since branched into fledgling film industries in Thailand (for example: the Ong Bak series), and now Indonesia.

Cinema from the South East of Asia has certainly turned ultraviolent films into an art form.
