This week on Scottscope
Talk Radio, the roundtable reviews The
Raid 2: Berandal! Is it a worthy
follow-up to the original? Is it
actually better than the original? Is it
too ambitious for its own good? Can it
be considered bloated and pretentious? Could
it possibly be the most violent action film ever made? Does it deserve comparison to classic “Heroic
Bloodshed’ films like Hard Boiled and
City on Fire? Might it even deserve comparison to the likes
of The Godfather Part 2? Does it raise the bar for action cinema? Are fans overhyping it? Is it merely an ultraviolent yet disposable
cult film from a familiar genre?
