What can you say about Gareth Evans’ The Raid 2, the sequel to one of the greatest martial arts action films ever made? Well, knowing the original as we do, this sequel better be pretty damn good if it’s going to have any chance of even coming close to the original.

Fortunately, at least based on this new trailer, The Raid 2 looks like it just might be in the running for “Greatest sequel ever.”

Here’s more about the movie:

He thought it was over. After fighting his way out of a building filled with gangsters and madmen – a fight that left the bodies of police and gangsters alike piled in the halls – rookie Jakarta cop Rama thought it was done and he could resume a normal life. He couldn’t have been more wrong.

Formidable though they may have been, Rama’s opponents in that fateful building were nothing more than small fish swimming in a pond much larger than he ever dreamed possible. And his triumph over the small fry has attracted the attention of the predators farther up the food chain. His family at risk, Rama has only one choice to protect his infant son and wife: He must go undercover to enter the criminal underworld himself and climb through the hierarchy of competing forces until it leads him to the corrupt politicians and police pulling the strings at the top of the heap.

If you haven’t seen director Gareth Evans’ The Raid: Redeption, you’re really missing something. It’s an amazing action film full of so many martial arts fights your head will spin.

Yes, it’s that good. And now there’s a sequel, which looks to push things to an even higher level.

The first trailer for that sequel, called The Raid 2: Berandal, has arrived and without wasting too much time we can safely say we were hooked from the first few seconds. Can’t wait to see the rest of this one.

Check out the trailer after the break. Look for The Raid 2: Berandal to hit theaters in 2014.
