The Raid 2: Berandal (Gareth Evans, 2014)

The action is set up similar, but other than that it's hard to believe that such a sprawling crime movie set over the course of several years is the sequel to a movie about a bunch of guys fighting their way to the top of a building.  It could easily have felt like a generic mob flick but even setting aside the amazing fights it would be something special.  I liked the first one alright, but this was an extremely pleasant surprise.
