Picture'The Raid 2' opens in the US in March
Back in 2011 Welsh film maker Gareth Evans wrote and directed a non-stop, high adrenalin, ultra violent Indonesian movie called 'The Raid', which on my first viewing simply blew me away. The story itself was quite simple. Some cops have to inflitrate a building being run by an evil mobster and his huge army of thugs. However, the execution of 'The Raid' was anything but. Instead, after a brief introduction to the characters, most of the film's 101 minutes running time is spent on magnificent set pieces, bone crushing assaults and general mayhem, with hardly a moment allowed for the viewer to breathe. Indeed I needed to see it twice to fully appreciate this visual feast. Without doubt this was easily one of the best action movies I have seen in many years.

So it was with much joy I discovered the (much deserved) success of 'The Raid', both domestically and on the international front, meant that a sequel was in the making, again with director Gareth Evans at the helm. The very first trailer for 'The Raid 2' has just been released online to whet our appetite, and oh boy, it looks as if the action is set to continue onto the next level. The story picks up a few hours after the end of the original film and as can be seen with this 'first look', new characters are established, along with a new storyline. Then it appears the stage is set for another bloodbath of anger and fury, this time with a bigger budget. See for yourself right here.

'The Raid 2' will be released in the US on 28th March and soon after in the UK.

If you have yet to see the original 'The Raid' (2011), get a taster right here with the trailer:

The first one was amazing. I just hope the second one isn't a let down. The scene where the two brother come together and fight Mad Dog was epic. its going to be a hard one to beat.
