If The Raid: Redemption was a thrashing drum solo, its sequel is the opulent symphony where every instrument is played with fevered inspiration. - 100

Hyper-violent it may be but there is beauty in its brutality. - 84

Good luck finding a modern martial-arts epic that can even hold a candle to it. - 83

The Raid 2 brings the noise, but length, repetition and too much space also make it a slightly reduced echo of its predecessor. - 80
The Hollywood Reporter
There are tradeoffs with the switch to a more epic, ambitious canvas, but Gareth Evans’ action sequel in most ways that count is an even more masterful jolt of high-energy genre filmmaking. - 80
Time Out
No other filmmaker on the planet can touch Evans for long-take beatdowns and wildly inventive flourishes. - 70
Variety
It’s hard to shake a nagging feeling of more is less; with its convoluted plot mechanics clearly cribbed from past thriller templates, the film never quite generates or sustains its predecessor’s pure sense of menace. - 63
