Finding your preferred audio mix can be tricky due to regional Blu-ray and streaming variations.
So, what sets The Raid: Redemption's Indonesian audio apart from other action films? Here are a few reasons why it stands out:
For the Western release, Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda, alongside composer Joseph Trapanese, created a driving, electronic, and hip-hop-infused score. This version is standard on most US and UK releases and is paired with both the English dub and an Indonesian audio option.
Ensure the audio is not set to English unless you specifically want the voiceover.
Pair the Indonesian audio with English Subtitles (not closed captions/SDH, unless you require environmental text descriptions). Physical Media (Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD)
Turn off the dubbing. Switch the audio to Indonesian. Turn on the English subtitles. Turn the volume up to 11. And hold on tight.
When purchasing or streaming The Raid 2 , look for versions that explicitly include:
Following immediately after the events of The Raid: Redemption , the sequel follows rookie Jakarta cop Rama (Iko Uwais) as he is forced to go undercover within a powerful criminal syndicate to protect his family and expose corruption within his own police force. Where the original film was a claustrophobic, minimalist masterpiece set almost entirely within a single apartment building, The Raid 2 explodes into a sprawling crime drama spanning Jakarta's underworld, complete with feuding gangs, yakuza elements, and a dizzying array of unforgettable antagonists like Hammer Girl, Baseball Bat Man, and The Assassin.
The audio team employed a range of techniques to create the film's distinctive sound. They used a combination of practical and Foley sound effects to create a realistic and grounded audio experience. For example, the sound of the characters' movements, such as punches and kicks, were carefully crafted to create a visceral response in the viewer.
