Things are kicked off right after The Raid: Redemption ends. Rama and others have escaped the criminal building and they are out of danger. So he thought. Rama discovers he is just getting into his problems as he is sent undercover to prison in order to further infiltrate the criminal underworld that he already put a decent beating on. Corruption and greed flow through the city and Rama has to get all the way to the top to put an end to it and safely return to his family.
In typical sequel fashion the plot is much grander than the original. Instead of the simple plot of a group of cops escaping a building, we are met with a giant conspiracy and several players as they fight for control of two crime families. The fight scenes are plenty (which adds to the run time of the movie. Buckle in it's about two and a half hours).
You'll probably want to watch Redemption first. The first few minutes can be jarring if you do not remember who all survives and what there role was. If you're into action movies then that should be no problem. Get ready for subtitles as well. It's an Indonesian film after all.
3/5 stars
