Directed by Gareth Evans

By far the most viscerally entertaining film of the year. It’s impossible to watch The Raid 2 and not have moments of physical outburst when something unexplainably incredible occurs on screen. The entire audience was in perfect sync in their reactions to the film, and that’s the power of great filmmaking. Oozing in badass, The Raid 2 is as old-school as it comes. It’s set-ups bring tension that equal the best Bruce Lee films and spaghetti westerns out there. You will have seen nothing quite like this before. The best martial arts film since the original came out a few years ago.
