Julie Estelle in The Raid 2
The Raid 2, 1am, Film4, Friday April 9
Once the action starts in Gareth Evans' fast-moving sequel to his 2012 hit, it doesn't let up. Picking up where the first film left off, hero Rama is forced undercover to investigate police corruption. The plotremains squarely in its place as a handy hook for another succession ofvisceral set-pieces and face-offs. From muddy prison quads to the confined spacesof a loo, the inventiveness and the punching, kicking and general mayhem keeps oncoming. Evans has recently signed a deal with Netflix and his criminal thriller Havoc starring Tom Hardy is coming soon. Read the fullreview
The Elephant Man, 9pm, BBC4, April 8
