DP/30: The Raid 2: Berandal, wr/dir Gareth Evans, star iko Uwais

The Raid: Redemption was a sensation when it kicked its way into theaters in 2011. Now, The Raid 2: Berandal, which was conceived before Gareth Evans made the first film, is here. If the first film was a tribute to claustrophobia, this one is all about spreading its wings, with a wide variety of fighting styles breaking out almost anywhere, from inside cars mid-car chase to a kitchen full of sharp tools. And you'll never question a woman with a hammer again. The filmmaker and his star, Iko Uwais, talked to David Poland about their relationship, the film, and how they approach the work. Shot in Los Angeles, 2014
