Paramedics Called To The Raid 2 Premiere: 'The Most Violent Mainstream Film Since Passion Of The Christ'

Gareth Evans’ hotly anticipated, butt-stabbing sequel to The Raid premiered last night at Sundance, and the early reviews are in. If there’s one thing that everyone seems to agree on, it’s that The Raid 2 is violent. Really, really violent. In fact, The Wrap even reports that one guy fainted and the paramedics were called. To be fair, most film critics could faint from walking up three stairs or trying to lift their own eczema medication, but the film sounds pretty violent indeed.
