5. The Raid 2
Director: Gareth Evans
Starring: Iko Uwais, Yayan Ruhian, Arifin Putra and Cok Simbara
Synopsis: Only a short time after the first raid, Rama goes undercover with the thugs of Jakarta and plans to bring down the syndicate and uncover the corruption within his police force.
In a plot that is somewhat familiar— an undercover cop is fighting for his familyʼs safety while his enemies are seeking power and money. Evans does not give in easily without several plot twists that may have crossed your thoughts, but ultimately you missed. There is also a dose of humour throughout, enough to lighten up the mood considering all the violence. Evans has assembled a group of well-respected Indonesian actors, old and new. Each of them fits their character nicely. —Anishka Syafrani
