From putting him in the middle of a muddy prison yard brawl to having him face the swift and deadly character of Hammer Girl, The Raid 2 continuously saw its main character Rama in dire situations that escalated the already mind-blowing, bone-snapping action of its predecessor. If you haven't yet seen director Gareth Evans' second entry in his action saga, or if you are dying to see those maniacal martial arts moves again, then the recent announcement of the Blu-ray and DVD release of The Raid 2 might get your adrenaline pumping.
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment is releasing The Raid 2 on Blu-ray and DVD on July 8th, and the home media release will include some interesting bonus features:

"Immediately following the events of The Raid: Redemption, Rama (Iko Uwais) is forced to reinvent himself as an undercover cop in order to provide protection for his wife and child. Working for the anti-corruption taskforce led by the one person he can trust, Bunawar (Cok Simbara), he is given a mission to engage himself as an enforcer for a local mob boss, Bangun (Tio Pakusodewo). Finding a way in through Bangun's son Uco (Arifin Putra), Rama must hunt for information linking Bangun with police force corruption. All the while, he harbors a dangerous and personal vendetta for revenge and justice that threatens to consume him- and bring both this mission and the organized crime syndicates crashing down."
The film is written and directed by Gareth Evans and stars Iko Uwais, Yayan Ruhian, Raiden Integra, Donny Alamsyah, Tio Pakusodewo, and Ryûhei Matsuda. It's produced by Nate Bolotin, Ario Sagantoro and Aram Tertzakian. Executive producers include Rangga Maya Barack-Evans, Todd Brown, Irwan D. Mussry and Nick Spicer.
