Released in 2011, The Raid: Redemption became an instant cult classic by injecting raw martial arts fighting and an unflinching attitude into an Die Hard-esque action movie.
Now we have The Raid 2, which Sony Pictures Home Entertainment are releasing on DVD, Blu-ray, and digitally. But while sequels typically soften their edges or rehash the same ideas — y’know, like Die Hard 2 did — The Raid 2 is one of those rare sequels that matches, and in some ways surpasses, its predecessor.
