Movie Details

Title: Raid 2 (2025)
Genre: Action Thriller / Crime Saga / Neo-Noir
Director: Gareth Evans

Starring: Iko Uwais, Florence Pugh, Joe Taslim, Cillian Murphy, Hiroyuki Sanada, Rina Sawayama

After the explosive fallout of the first Raid, Raid 2 expands into an international underworld of organized crime, corruption, and covert justice. Rama (Iko Uwais), now deep undercover and disillusioned, is pulled back into the fray when a secretive global crime syndicate—led by the calculating Yakuza boss Kenji Mori (Hiroyuki Sanada)—threatens to destabilize Southeast Asia’s fragile criminal alliances.
 


Assigned by a clandestine international task force, Rama must infiltrate a deadly triad of gangs stretching from Jakarta to Tokyo to London. Along the way, he’s forced into uneasy alliances: with Eliza (Florence Pugh), a ruthless MI6 agent with a personal vendetta; Yuda (Joe Taslim), a former rival turned vigilante; and a mysterious assassin named Kira (Rina Sawayama), whose loyalties remain hidden. Meanwhile, a quiet, philosophical hitman named Gray (Cillian Murphy) watches from the shadows, playing all sides.

Where the first film confined the action to claustrophobic spaces, Raid 2 explodes into a global canvas—high-speed chases through Bangkok, rain-soaked alley brawls in Osaka, and a final blood-soaked opera house showdown in Berlin. Every frame is a ballet of brutality.

Key Themes & Style:

  • The Cost of Violence: Rama is no longer fighting for justice—he’s surviving a moral collapse, one blow at a time.
  • Identity and Corruption: Everyone wears a mask—cop, killer, criminal. Trust is a luxury no one can afford.
  • Globalized Crime: From the backstreets of Jakarta to neon-soaked Tokyo, the film explores how crime syndicates operate beyond borders.
  • Brotherhood & Betrayal: Bonds are forged in blood but broken in silence.

Visual Style:

  • Shot on 70mm with stark color contrasts: neon against shadow, blood against white suits, steel against skin.
  • Brutal, meticulously choreographed long-take fight sequences with zero CGI.
  • Evocative sound design by Ramin Djawadi blending industrial tones with traditional Eastern instrumentation.
  • Cold, noir-inspired cinematography with grounded grit and operatic violence.
