A man is shot in the temple in close-up and we see blood and brains splatter the man falls into an open grave. VIOLENCE/GORE 9 - A road in a bamboo field contains a freshly dug grave where a man wearing a burlap bag over his head is forced to kneel and a man with an automatic rifle next to the victim's head fires in close-up (we see green-red splatter as the camera cuts to an office scene) and it is implied that the man, already bloody over his face and bare chest, fell into the grave, dead. A man says that white guys drink beer that is cheaper than the women (using a crude sexual term) and they pay for sex in the toilets (please see the Substance Use category for more details). ► A man tells a male employee to get the first man's son a girl to " problems out of his mind." A man says that he does not want to go to prison and fear a broom shoved up his anus every morning. A man strips to his black biking shorts, the camera pans back and the man pulls the shorts down, below the frame we see his bare back and chest. Several scenes feature men wearing sleeveless undershirts and knee-length boxers, or boxers only. Two prostitutes wear sleeveless dresses ending mid-thigh that reveal their legs to the thigh and their V-necklines reveal cleavage. ► At a club, several women wear corsets, panties and garter belts that reveal cleavage and dance without moving much on stage.

John DeSando, a Los Angeles Press Club first-place winner for National Entertainment Journalism, hosts WCBE’s It’s Movie Time and co-hosts Cinema Classics.SEX/NUDITY 6 - A pornographer has a warehouse set up with a curtained-off corner and a movie camera: scattered around, men and women at computers copy something indistinguishable and place DVDs into plastic cases featuring silhouettes of two people standing face-front, side-by-side (the gender unclear) a nude woman wearing only a black strapped-on erect leather phallus as long as her arm comes out from behind the curtained area and walks across the room, we see the bared buttocks and chest (it looks flat) of a person of indistinct gender on all fours inside the curtained area, the first woman walks back behind the curtain and her silhouette thrusts the phallus between the legs of the other person who is still on hands and knees (the phallus rubbing against the stomach of the person) as the movie camera points at the woman's bare backside. Baseball Bat Man says, “Bring back the ball.” It’s not what you’ve usually seen with the bat motif.įor this non-fan of violence, Raid 2 is an enjoyable romp in a weak time of year for films, even hoodlum epics. What sets Raid 2 off from The Raid: Redemption and other formulaic entries in this genre is director/writer Gareth Evans’ willingness to intersperse the warfare with dramatic situations involving the families’ warfare, patricide, and occasional soul-searching-not high drama, mind you, but at least a respite from the bone-crunching, blood-letting combat both forbidding and creative. The girl with two hammers is slick enough to wipe out a subway car of martial artists, a not-so-rare-anymore instance of women in this genre kicking serious butt. Ingenious but not high art is a man’s face cooked on a kitchen steamer, a shenanigan I hadn’t seen before. The set pieces are imaginative enough to make you forget the derivative nature of martial arts films, Jackie Chan’s humor notwithstanding.įor instance, the requisite car chase is imaginative for martial arts performed inside a speeding car with a grace and ingenuity that almost qualifies it as art. The calling card of this epic is the martial arts in glorious variation from the standard chop-socky fare.

It’s hard not to think of the Godfather series in the states and not difficult to discern the difference in the US’s emphasis on dialogue and character interaction. Rama ( IkoUwais, from the original The Raid: Redemption) joins the hoodlums of Jakarta as an undercover cop with the goal of exposing the syndicate and police corruption. Yes, Raid 2 is hardcore gang-war stuff set in Jakarta with the omerta (code of silence) well in place and families combating enemy families as well as their own. “You apologize! In their language, in our land! Where is your honor?” Ucock (Arifin Putra) The martial arts approach ballet, and the drama is not half bad, too.ĭirector: Gareth Evans (The Raid: Redemption)Ĭast: Iko Uwais (Merantau), Yayan Ruhian (Merantau)
