вЂњThe Raid 2: BerandalвЂќ is focused on the lead protagonist of the first film, Rama, and his journey into the criminal underworld as an undercover cop. вЂњThe RaidвЂќ is about a team of SWAT operators who become trapped in a building they raided by the criminals they were sent to arrest. In light of this lack of exposure, letвЂ™s highlight two Southeast Asian movies, specifically Indonesian, that have received significant international attention, вЂњThe RaidвЂќ series, directed by Gareth Evans and starring newcomer Iko Uwais. Maybe вЂњThe DebutвЂќ starring Dante Basco, but one, thatвЂ™s not a martial arts movie, and two, thatвЂ™s a discussion saved for another time.

Even I, as a Filipino-American, canвЂ™t really come up with any Filipino movies that have attained as much international attention as movies like the movie that this group was named after, вЂњHardboiledвЂќ. However, it goes to show that when people think of вЂњAsian cinemaвЂќ in general, itвЂ™s hard to come up with a popular movie, martial arts or not, thatвЂ™s from Southeast Asia. When it comes to martial arts movies, typically people think of movies like вЂњCrouching TigerвЂќ or вЂњSuper CopвЂќ and a few names come to mind, such as Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Jet Li, and the man who turned into an Internet meme, Chuck Norris. I may return and give these movies another look at since I was writing with a word limit in mind but for now, here is what I wrote on them.ДЎ Ruthless Crime Lord, 20 Elite Cops, 30 Floors of Hell The following is what I wrote but IвЂ™ll post the link to the issue my article was released on. My intention behind writing this was to bring more attention to Southeast Asian cinema by highlighting these films. I wrote this while in my senior year of college for a newspaper group called вЂњhardboiledвЂќ, a paper which focuses on Asian-American issues. вЂњThe Raid: RedemptionвЂќ and вЂњThe Raid 2: BerandalвЂќВ ReviewДЄUTHORвЂ™S NOTE: Quick backstory on this article.
