Fans of Gareth Evans’ previous bone crunching, face bashing, knife twisting, Indonesian action masterpiece The Raid will probably adore the fact that the ass kicking stakes have been raised considerably for the sequel. But hopefully they also appreciate the extra added effort to make a sequel that’s actually worth talking about beyond just the action sequences.
We talk to The Raid 2 director Gareth Evans about the greater ambitions of his ass kicking sequel, the pros and cons of having more time and locations to shoot in, what to expect from the conclusion to The Raid trilogy, and why you won’t find him hanging around any mud pits any time soon.
Enter for a chance to win a pair of passes to a special EARLY advance screening of one of the most anticipated action films of the year: The Raid 2 in Toronto, Ottawa, Edmonton, or Vancouver on Monday, March 31st at 7:00pm, courtesy of Dork Shelf and eOne Films!
