Written & Directed by Gareth Evans, The Raid 2 with a great cast Iko Uwais, Arifin Putra, Tio Pakusadewo, Oka Antara, Julie Estelle, Ryuhei Matsuda, Kenichi Endo, Kazuki Kitamura involves a fury fighting with Rama and 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.

A great sequel of action and a new odyssey of violence, bone-crunching force him to set aside his own life and history and take on a new identity as the violent offender “Yuda.” In prison he must gain the confidence of Uco – the son of a prominent gang kingpin – to join the gang himself, laying his own life on the line in a desperate all-or-nothing gambit to bring the whole rotten enterprise to an end. For all fight fans should brace themselves for a bruising, blistering ride even the plot is not the best the main characters show their best fighting skills faster, and more lethal than ever. The most curious characters were the Hammer Girl and Baseball Bat Man deserve a spin-off especially with their fights that are full of dynamite but at the end this movie has to contrasts: a beauty in a modern martial-arts epic and brutality, capturing the art of violence with a great style in all the characters involved. Definitely is an awesome movie full of entertainment and fun which suffers from too much potential.

Pompe II has passion for history and was directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, an adept handler of eye-popping 3D spectacle now is available in Blu-ray, DVD including a talented cast and characters and “The Volcanic Eruption-Special Effects.” The film travels back in time to 79 AD. It revolves around Pompeii, an outlying Roman metropolis that is found at the bottom of Mt Vesuvius — a volcanic mountain.

A young boy called Milo (Kit Harington of Game of Thrones) witnesses the slaughter of his tribe at the hands of Roman soldiers, led by Roman commander Corvus (Kiefer Sutherland).  Thus, Milo becomes the sole survivor of a Celtic horse tribe. He is then raised as a slave, and 17 years later, becomes a gladiator who is taken to Pompeii to battle Atticus (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), an African gladiator who is one fight away from earning his freedom.

A movie full of violence and tragedy bit this makes it more realistic and highly entertaining, never boring. Milo and Atticus take on a battalion of Roman soldiers and both are involved in destruction of the place. Interaction between the characters was fine given the length of time between the start of the movie and the eruption of Pompeii. The acting of the cast was well done. The 3-D effect had you brushing volcanic ash out of your hair and the film, it is definitely worth the watch.

The rails involve an outlandish thriller for “Last Passenger”

Lewis Shaler (Dougray Scott) is an overworked doctor and devoted single dad heading home with his young son Max on the last train from London. When he strikes up a conversation with a beautiful and flirtatious stranger (Kara Tointon), Lewis believes life is finally looking up. But events then take a dark turn when Lewis discovers the guard has mysteriously vanished and the brakes have been sabotaged. Unknown to the handful of remaining passengers, a vengeful sociopath has taken control of the train and is hell-bent on crashing it, taking his passengers with him to the grave.

As the speeding locomotive ploughs through stations and level crossings, the body count rises and panic turns to terror. Lewis realizes that the police are powerless to stop the diesel-powered ‘slammer’ train, and the desperate passengers must find their own way out of this nightmare. Lewis takes the lead in a series of increasingly perilous missions to stop the train before the driver can realize his dark plan.

Last Passenger is a kinetic thriller with melding suspense, action with great performances with great credibility of the situation. It has a well structured dialogues and a well-worn plot with some scenes full of tense and explosive action. Besides in one hour, 36 minutes your predictions will fail when Scott and Tointon make for a decent lead couple, and the film does eventually give some depth to Goldberg’s Jan and David Schofield’s Peter, although for the bulk of the running time they are relegated to annoying cardboard cutouts. Definitely this film is more focus on survival, not the mechanics of villainy but makes it an exciting thriller anyways.

He couldn’t have been more wrong.

 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.
