Movies like The Raid 2, ranked
1. The Raid: Redemption (2011)
Director Gareth Evans crafts the same visceral, bone-breaking martial arts choreography and claustrophobic tension as he escalates the stakes from a single building siege to a sprawling crime empire infiltration.
2. Den of Thieves (2018)
Den of Thieves mirrors The Raid 2's obsession with an undercover cop navigating criminal hierarchies through stylized violence, while director Christian Gudegast trades Indonesian syndicates for LA's banking underworld with the same relentless tension and moral ambiguity.
3. Taken 2 (2012)
An intelligence operative navigates Istanbul's criminal underworld with the same brutal efficiency and hand-to-hand combat intensity that defined the Jakarta raid sequences.
4. Infernal Affairs (2002)
Infernal Affairs mirrors the psychological toll of deep undercover work within criminal hierarchies, where loyalty becomes impossible and every relationship threatens to unravel the carefully constructed false identity.
5. S.W.A.T. (2003)
Gareth Evans' brutal choreography of violence finds its tactical counterpart in this procedural that prioritizes bone-cracking action sequences over plot convenience, grounding both films in the unglamorous reality of law enforcement under fire.
6. War (2007)
Director Gareth Evans' visceral staging of intimate violence returns in this crime thriller where an undercover operative navigates competing criminal factions with the same balletic brutality and moral corruption that defined The Raid 2.
7. Code of Silence (1985)
A corrupt police force turns against its own agent in both films, forcing each protagonist to navigate gang warfare while isolated from the institution meant to protect them.
8. 2 Guns (2013)
Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg navigate the same morally ambiguous undercover terrain as The Raid 2, trading Jakarta's crime syndicates for a cartel conspiracy where trust becomes your deadliest liability.
