Boom. How much asskicking can you fit in one movie? The 2011 cult hit action flick The Raid: Redemption failed to properly answer that question, because I simply lost count. So much asskicking. Its highly-anticipated sequel The Raid 2 premieres this week at the Sundance Film Festival. If the new trailer is any indication, the movie looks determined to up the asskicking ante -- bigger, badder and just plain crazier. Take a look:
I told you, you had me at Hammer Girl. While the first movie contained the story to one massive apartment building, following Officer Rama across twenty floors of punching, kicking and skull-cracking, the sequel takes the action outside into Jakarta. And it looks insane. Can't wait to see this, dammit.
The Raid 2 premieres tonight at the Sundance Film Festival, and opens in limited theatrical release on March 28 from Sony Pictures Classics. Hey! Look at me over here! I'm already standing in line to watch it.
