RAID 2 - mayhem, mud, and some of the most intense, grotesque yet balletic action ever filmed. More epic, more complex. Epic. #Sundance— Jason Gorber (@filmfest_ca) January 22, 2014

RAID 2 echoes everything from Kubrick to Kurosawa. Ambitious plot is matched by deliriously intense fight sequences. #Sundance— Jason Gorber (@filmfest_ca) January 22, 2014

The Raid 2 does the franchise proud with fight sequences that are true spectacle and a complex mafioso narrative to boot. Quite bloody fun!— Jeff Goldsmith (@yogoldsmith) January 22, 2014

Applause multiple times during Raid 2 as sequences were show stoppers. The fights were often balletic with camera immersed in dead middle!— Jeff Goldsmith (@yogoldsmith) January 22, 2014

Raid 2: Relentlessly brutal violence dialed to the maximum. Unbelievable body count + insane fights = operatic level of mayhem. #Sundance— Raffi Asdourian (@zaffi) January 22, 2014
