Contrary to what you may have heard, sadly, this is NOT Raid 3, despite featuring most of the cast of that franchise. Therefore the inevitable comparisons only lead you to disappointment.
The Night Comes for Us has all the insanity of the first raid movie, but none of the cinematic feel or plot coherence of the second. Compared to every other action movie this year, this is firmly at the top, but compared to the mastery of Raid 2, this is quite a letdown.
You will still have a good time if you ignore the story and just focus on the action as I did (most of the fight scenes are topnotch) but in your heart and in the back of your mind, you will still be wishing Gareth Evans comes back to direct Raid 3.
